Project
Berlin, Germany 2019
Over the course of two weeks, over 150 participants took part in a diverse curriculum convened by practitioners in the field of spatial practices. Acting as a non-disciplinary learning environment, the School proposes, designs, builds, negotiates, maintains, performs and celebrates an educational and convivial space in and around Haus der Statistik, Berlin. At the same time, it becomes a dynamic actor within a process of urban transformation, serving as a common sphere of action between participants, neighbors and civic society.
Berlin, Germany 2013
I am nature, I am machine, I am social, I make, I dream, I feel, I sit down, I eat. I am human. Purity is a fiction of the past, contamination is everywhere, form reigns, the mixture of everything with everything - we felt this was inevitable, now we know it is.
Den Haag, Netherlands 2012
At the TODAYSART festival in the Hague we build a “Vortex” – a space like a whirlwind from locally available materials.
Berlin, Germany 2012
The Greate Worlds Fair 2012 (Die Große Weltausstellung 2012) is an exposition in 15 pavilions spread across the vast airfield. The project is our statement to the ongoing discussion about the future of the site. Together with HAU (Hebbel Theater Berlin) we´ve invited 15 directors, architects, installation- and performance-artists. They each developed a work for the site and for a pavilion designed by raumlabor
Liverpool, United Kingdom 2009
Raumlabor approached this project with the questions: is reinventing the history of a place a good idea, when the current accepted history isn't helping the present situation? Finding, as in our case, no suitable point of departure/entry for a solution to apparent urbanistic problems, is it possible through the interweaving of truth, urban legend and invention to inspire regional pride in the inhabitants of a desolated residential area? And when this (hi)story is presented in a positive light, could it get the ball rolling? Is it possible by reinventing a history to create a new perspective for a site which has undergone a century of urban catastrophes?
