Berlin, Germany 2006
A temporary local transport system in Kreuzberg private cars, motorcycles, solar-powered boats and horse-drawn carriages take the citizens of Kreuzberg through their neighbourhood and to the theatre over a two-week period at 1€ per ride. The interchange stations were designed by artists and architects and the theatre was converted into a model of Kreuzberg using old furniture and waste.
Berlin, Germany 2004
We flooded the Palast der Republik and invited the residents of Berlin to shape a republican environment for themselves and to design facades for a water city. Rubber dinghies were the only mode of transport. Anyone could get involved in designing the image of the city in a role-play that simulated the ongoing debate on architecture and urban planning. The façade academy and its topclass lecturers, the parliament, the façade workshop and the red light district all provided options to choose from.
Linz, Austria 1999
Over a three-day period, this “four-course” kitchen (built by five engineers) grew longer and longer, until it criss-crossed through the whole building. People cooked, played music, ate, watched, drank and danced as it grew.
