Natural light (outdoor location), sounds of nature (frogs, crows, etc.), the sounds of other people and programs on site - there is an opportunity to remove yourself from the event situation and minimize possible stimuli. During the time of the event the area is a public space, there will be passers-by, during the Clarifying Talks some people will be in conversation with each other, others will be able to listen and participate. When participating in the public lab, the number of participants will vary, with a maximum of 10 participants at a time.

There will be the possibility of free drinking water, and the bar will also be open, where drinks can be purchased on a donation basis.

The program is suitable for school children, but only when accompanied by adults. The entire area of the Floating will be accessible during the program and can serve as a play area, but only at your own responsibility. There are no special changing or breastfeeding facilities but many different rooms and also places of retreat. Parking facilities for strollers are available.

Walk and Discussion

We take you on a walk through a technical infrastructure that has the task of “holding back” rainwater that rains on sealed surfaces and cannot seep away there until the sewage system can absorb it. But the site is now no longer “just” a technical infrastructure. The basin became a habitat for flora and fauna and a nature-culture learning place. It is a place full of contradictions, conflicts of interest, challenges and uncertain futures that we want to uncover and discuss with you.

Event location:

Klärendes Gespräch

in the rainwater retention basin Kreuzberg, near the Floating University, Lilienthalstraße 32, 10965 Berlin

Organization/ Initiative:

The Wet Fragility Transformation Lab is located in the stormwater retention pond of the former Tempelhof Airport. Here we deal with the questions about the present and the future around the water infrastructure places in our city. What are these places and what happens at and with them?

Funded:

This program/workshop/publication is supported by the Senate Department for Urban Development, Building and Housing as part of the expansion of the Netzwerkstelle Urbane Praxis, carried out by Urbane Praxis e.V..
