The two architecture and art collectives Raumlabor (Berlin) and Collectif ETC (Marseille) work at the crossroads between architecture, urban development, art and design. Both collectives are interested in the conceptual design and concrete implementation of architectural interventions in public space.
Based on citizen involvement and local co-influence, the collectives ask what constitutes the character of a given place? What creates quality – for the individual and for society? How do you create space for dialogue and togetherness in the local community, where people feel safe and part of the community, and which at the same time takes climate and resources into account?
In 2022, Raumlabor and Collectif ETC were invited to Copenhagen by the Goethe-Institut Dänemark, Institute français du Danemark, Copenhagen Architecture Festival and the Franco-German Cultural Foundation. Inspired by the urban space around Skjolds Plads and Bispebjerg Bakke, they developed various sketches for architectural and social innovations in the area. Some of these drawings will be included in the exhibition at the Danish Association of Architects.
The exhibition consists of an installation created especially for the occasion, and it contains various objects of use and objects that associate with selected projects from Raumlabor and Collectif ETC. There is a special focus on the collectives’ joint projects.
The exhibition can be seen from June 7th to 13th in the Association of Architects.
On Wednesday 7 June there is a special opening event from 16-18: Axel Timm and Jan Helge Theiler from Raumlabor and Théo Mouzard and Maxence Bohn from Collectif ETC present their work practices and selected projects.
There will be a special focus on the projects that the two collectives have jointly developed. The audience is invited to participate actively in the conversation.
The event will be held in English. It is supported by the Franco-German Cultural Foundation.
