Urbane Initialräume Freiham

München, Germany

Im Münchner Westen wird die Stadt München in den nächsten 20 Jahren den neuen Stadtteil Freiham für 20.000 Menschen entstehen lassen.

Project

Stick on Sydney & Sydney Generator

Sydney, Australia
2013

Stick on Sydney & Sydney Generator is the contribution of raumlaborberlin to the exhibition User Generated Architecture of the Tin Sheds Gallery, Sydney. Our contribution to the exhibition should actually be titled rather with User Generated Urbanism instead of Architecture. While we use architectural means to explore urban situations, we understand architecture more as a tool to act in an urban context. The contribution to the exhibition mainly consists of two parts: the collective drawing Stick on Sydney and the participatory building workshop Sydney Generator.

Project

NEXT Berlin 2012

Berlin, Germany
2012

The two web conferences NEXT and Re:publica together bring 6,000 people to Berlin within a few days. For NEXT we develop out of basic elements of digital worlds a concept that characterizes a strong two-sidedness: user interface and hardware, scenery and construction, interior and exterior. The organization and logic of this world allows that visitors in the extensive "space" of the Station Berlin (a former postal railway station) are not getting lost.

Project

100 SPACES

Reggio Emilia, Italy
2012

We understand the Loris Malaguzzi Center as a strip of collective experience. Following that logic with the Reggio school enlargement, we propose scenarios of different evolutionary speeds which rely on our belief in the quality of participative collective exchange of all involved stakeholders, developing within the bends of this process of education and experiment.

Project

Limousine Service

Rotterdam, Netherlands
2012

For the 2012 De Wereld van Witte de With Festival entitled “The Street - Live Issue!” the Witte de With Straat is blocked for traffic for the first time. The space usually occupied by parked and moving cars is given to the people for alternative use and program connected to the festivals topic. For the duration of the festival raumlabor surrogates the missing objects by its Limousine Service. It consists of a set of rebuilt cars that turn the automobiles purposes of cocooning/enclosure and individual mobility into interactive configurable mobile objects that interweave with the imagination of an alternative use of urban space that challenges the idea of looking institution's programs and particularly with “The Street – Live Issue”. The forms and functions of each limousine are derived from the cult built around automobiles and the promises made by the huge advertisement apparatus as well as city and environment making connected to the issue that in practice most of the time contradicts it purpose.

Project

Default Space 01: Hongkong Fountain House

Hong Kong, China
2012

In our project for Hong Kong we have a look on water as a common good. We focus our work around the fountain, as an old tool to provide water to be used by all. We investigate the availability of drinking water in public spaces in contemporary Hong Kong, having a look on the economy behind the distribution of waters and the specific situation in Hong Kong where most of the drinking water comes from the mainland China. We also keep in consideration that drinking water is a limited good. That is why we have a look on low tech possibilities on harvesting and treating of rainwater.

Project

Markthalle IX

Berlin, Germany
2011

On behalf of the Project Group MARKTHALLE IX we are working on the vision for a contemporary market hall in Berlin. The Market Hall IX, located in Kreuzberg, between Eisenbahn- and Pücklerstraße should be again retransformed into the economic and social center of the neighborhood.

Project

THE GENERATOR // SEDIA VENEZIANA

Venezia, Italy
2010

At the BIENNALE DI ARCHITETTURA, VENICE the software SEDIA VENEZANA was introduced and tested. The software is a set of construction plans and instructions for modules, which are developed for easy assembly. The construction methods are constantly tested and improved. The modules can be assembled into chairs, tables, and shelves, as well as walls and shelters. The participants can transform the modules accidentally or intentionally. A process of learning by doing. The team will record and reuse all possible mutations of the system and incorporate them into a growing structure.

Project

raumlabor korea

Anyang, South Korea
2010

raumlaborkorea is an intervention and research unit of raumlaborberlin invited by the 3rd ANYANG PUBLIC ART PROJECT (APAP 2010)/ A NEW COMMUNITY IN THE OPEN CITY. Open City is a self-learning laboratory, constantly in creation and transformation for the collective research of the New Community. We were asked to design, build and program the center of the open city with the purpose of initiating a process between international and local artists as well as the citizens of the open city, to discuss the issues of community against the background of rapid urban redevelopments to construct a unique form of collective space.

Project

Eichbaum Countdown

Mülheim, Germany
2009

Subway-station Eichbaum between Essen and Mülheim/Ruhr is an urban spot of spatial deficiency, that has to be converted in near future. The project "Eichbaum Countdown" adresses to young people of the neighborhood, who are connected to the Eichbaum-station. How do young people use the site? What are their whishes and dreams for Eichbaum? To figure their answers out is the aim of the projects workshops. In a second phase raumlaborberlin realised in collaboration with the young people and different experts the best ideas of the workshops. Eichbaumboxer, a regional boxing championship, Eichbaumbauer, a participative building workshop, a "Wall of Fame" and a local Rap-Battle.

Project

Eichbaumoper

Mülheim, Germany
2009

Eichbaumoper characterises the temporary transformation of the metro station Eichbaum into an opera house. ‚Eichbaum’ is a crosspoint and station located between the cities of Essen and Mülheim. Located in the eye of the highway intersection between the motorway A40 and the B1, this station was built using a lot of concrete in the 70’s as a fit for the future infrastructure project. Once considered as a place of aspiration and hope, the ‚Eichbaum’ is now shaped by vandalism, fear and foreboding. However, ‚Eichbaum’ is an important connection in an urban landscape that is dissected by highways and metro lines. At the same time, the site can be viewed as a model for the current situation of this former industrial region, facing urban and social challenges.

Project

Balkonbiennale

Berlin/Salzburg, Austria/Germany
2009

The balcony of Salzburger Landestheater becomes an enlargement of the "smoker's foyer". Readings, cinema, concerts, dancing or casino can take place in this additional room. The bubble is translucent and very well adapted for projections from inside or outside. The result is a completely new view at night. Local and friendly artists are resposible for performances on the balcony.

Project

Raumstruktur 01

Berlin, Germany
2009

raumlabor_berlin is engaged with temporarily transforming locations: a gallery into a laboratory, a public square into a location for scientific discourse or a cold corridor into a place with new social qualities. When spaces are meant not only to be neutral shells for content but also to convey particular functions and serve as catalysts, the way of dealing with these spaces, their design and programming have to be integral components of the overall conception. For CTM.09, raumlabor_berlin modifies the corridor of Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien - a space of transit - into a communicative and social centre for the building. For this, they will invent a new structure to be built into the space, which will be constructed out of doors from demolished pre-cast concrete buildings in Halle-Neustadt.
