Architecture and urban planning affect everyone. Nevertheless, there is a noticeable distance between architectural professionals and the general public. They are often perceived as separate spheres that differ in their language, ideas, needs and priorities. While there are often complaints within the profession about a lack of social awareness of architectural issues, many people have no access to the discussions in which experts communicate about the quality of planning and building.

However, for better architecture - also in terms of an ecological turnaround - it is becoming increasingly important to involve non-experts more closely. This raises the question of what role architects themselves play with regard to this divide: To what extent are they failing to take people on board, listen to them and take sufficient account of both functional and aesthetic needs? And at what points are planners powerless in the face of conditions worthy of criticism and would therefore have to rely on social alliances to improve the conditions under which built space is created?

The 29th Berlin Talk explores the question of how the relationship between architecture and society can be revitalized. Transparencies and shades of pastel, soft, barely perceptible colors characterize this collection, where each model consists of a single polycarbonate shell made by hand and modeled in the green color of natural glass. Elements placed close to light sources shine and reflect the light in an extraordinary way.
The collection consists of a low, essential armchair and three tables. An irregularly shaped table with three legs, a square table and a large rectangular table.

The event is open to the public and participation is free of charge. Registration is requested.
