![raumlaborberlin: Working on Common Ground
In this lecture, Benjamin Foerster-Baldenius and Jan Liesegang, present raumlaborberlins ethos and way of working of through four projects:
-Floating University Berlin, an experiment in collective learning housed in a temporary structure floating in a Berlin rainwater basin
-[Working on] Common Ground, a 100-day learning laboratory in a former brick factory in Kosovo’s capital city
-Allmänna Badet / Bathing Culture, a public sauna built above the harbor of a deindustrializing Swedish port city.
-Haus der Statistik, the development of the GDRs national statistics office abandoned headquarters, through which raumlabor is exploring the possibilities of cooperative city making.
The presentation is followed by a conversation with Mark Wigley, dean emeritus of Columbia University GSAPP. The conversation touches on the power of non-threatening, temporary structures in making lasting changes to the urban fabric, the central role education plays in the practices projects, and raumlaborberlins impact on global architectural discourse. raumlaborberlin: Working on Common Ground](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yVhEIIFnWCA/mqdefault.jpg)
