Das bunte Treiben rund ums Haus ist auch der überregionalen Presse nicht entgangen. Neben einem Nachrichtenbeitrag im ZDF heute journal adelte auch der Artikel im Feuilleton der FAZ das Projekt als zukunftsweisend; der Freitag wartet mit einem Beitrag in der Rubrik „Utopie“ auf. Aber auch die Berliner Presse berichtet positiv: der Tagesspiegel ruft den alten neuen Ort als „letzte innerstädtische Hoffnungszone“ aus, die BZ schreibt gar, dass das Gebäude „aus Ruinen auferstanden“ sei. Zudem wird unsere ZUsammenKUNFT-Vorständin Andrea Hofmann in der Berliner Zeitung porträtiert.

Making Futures – Night School
3. September | 20:30 – 21:30
After-Dark Trip: Blackouts
Beschreibung der Veranstaltenden
This after-dark trip with Making Futures Artist-in-Residence Alona Rodeh will explore urban illumination and artificial darkness in the city. The route will head through Haus der Statistik and also its surroundings while discussing subjects related to the „after dark“, such as commercial lighting, traffic, municipal lighting and how they relate, reflect and respond to one another.
Opening: Making Futures School
Between August 30 – September 15, 2019, a school for the future of spatial practice – understanding architecture as being both a collective form and a resource – will open in the heart of Berlin, initiated by the Making Futures Bauhaus+ action research project. Departing from the 2019 Bauhaus anniversary, Making Futures School will initiate a host of different trajectories, oriented towards exploring new forms of productive cooperation, exchange, solidarity and living.

Between August 30 – September 15, 2019, a school for the future of spatial practice – understanding architecture as being both a collective form and a resource – will open in the heart of Berlin, initiated by the Making Futures Bauhaus+ action research project. Departing from the 2019 Bauhaus anniversary, Making Futures School will initiate a host of different trajectories, oriented towards exploring new forms of productive cooperation, exchange, solidarity and living.
After a series of short-term action-led research activities in Berlin, Istanbul, Palermo and Oberweissbach and echoing the project’s focus on taking care of the dynamics of a place, Making Futures School will embed within, engage and confront itself with a Berlin site that is undergoing its own radical process of transformation: Haus der Statistik near Alexanderplatz. Empty since 2008, this DDR-constructed behemoth now the host of a series of pioneer initiatives, of which the School is one, where civic and public actors collaborate at eye-level to collectively invent its future.

- Prof Dr. Norbert Palz, Erster Vizepräsident Universität der Künste Berlin

Making Futures School
30. August – 15. September

Beschreibung der Veranstaltenden
Over the course of two weeks, over 80 participants will take 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, neighbours and civic society.
