Overview

For a quarter of a century, the architectural collective raumlaborberlin has been pioneering new spaces for action, charting unique paths in cooperative urban development, and creating places to foster encounters. Together with experts across various fields, they explore forms of urban practice, participation, and the joint production of space. Polylemma tells the story of this work: its nine members visit the sites of their work, come together with long-standing colleagues and critics, dissect the mechanisms behind their actions, and reflect on the tools and methods of their research-based practice. Topics discussed across numerous projects include strategies for learning together, experimental building, and radical recycling. Polylemma challenges us to open up our notion of space. How do we want to live together in the future? The book is a plea for the city as a sphere of action.

"""Die vielf�ltigen Projekte werden nicht nur dank Fotostrecken und Texten auf differenzierte Weisen beleuchtet, sondern u. a. auch in Gastkommentaren, Gespr�chen und detaillierten Illustrationen diskutiert und reflektiert. So fordert Polylemma im Ganzen dazu auf, Raum offen zu denken - und ist ein Pl�doyer f�r die Stadt als Handlungsraum."" (Marie Schwemin in polisFORUM) *** ""Raumlabor entwickelt immer wieder Orte, wo Menschen sich vorbehaltlos begegnen k�nnen. Das ist in Zeiten der gesellschaftlichen Spaltung und Entfremdung ganzer Bev�lkerungsgruppen wichtiger denn je."" Laura Wei�m�ller in S�ddeutsche Zeitung)"
