- It is hard to understand why an increasingly hot city with very ambitious climate targets, whose only potential is its appeal to young people in particular, has still not made the Fluss Bad its flagship project. While a number of metropolises are wisely making their waters swimmable, Berlin's politicians are watching as the project, which served as a model for many of these international efforts, is prevented by the mills of the administration and the blind, constant bombardment of die-hard fossil elements.

- Über das Werk: 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. Examples of SEDIA VENEZIANA can be found in the collections of the MAK Vienna and the Berlinische Galerie. In 2016, SEDIA VENEZIANA was shown in the exhibition ‘WEtransFORM - Art and Design on the Limits of Growth’ at the Neues Museum Nuremberg. The piece up for auction was built by Raumlabor Berlin especially for this exhibition.
- Raumlabor
- raumlabor is a collective of nine members who share a background in architecture. As architects, artists, performers, inventors and curators, they have tapped into different spaces of action. The group developed in 1999 from a common interest in an expanded understanding of architecture, which has since been established as Urban Practice. raumlabor’s working method is situational and action-oriented, with a focus on the collaborative production of space as an open and unbiased process.
