The city is growing rapidly with construction sites literaly at every corner. According to the 'Concept of Urban Development' Berlin needs 20.000 new homes per year. Until 2030 nearly 200.000 new homes have to be constructed.

'Quantity' would like to investigate how Berlin deals with its current city growth by asking the guiding questions: What are the currently applied solutions and strategies? Who is building? For whom is being built? And which city evolves by the driving forces?

In our expedition-/walking-seminar we would like to explore the unbound patchwork of chaotic idylls in Berlin‘s periphery.

Leaving the „Inner Ring“ behind - we aim to encounter the city´s fringes in an unbiased way - open ourselves to it (STEP 1: Contemplation), collect and later map our findings and impressions (STEP 2: Collection and Application). In this 3-Walk-Series, two early dates/walks will get us familiar with the techniques of the Situationists` Dérive, which we are then going to deepen in a nomadic 48-hours-Drift.

'Generic Objects' concerns the non-architectural elements that fill the in-between and everyday of Berlin’s fringes. These objects epitomize and influence the utopian visions and desires of these areas. What does the single household’s desire of having a swimmingpool mean for a community when every neighbour has that wish? What is contextual when a mass of individual wishes creates a physical landscape of desire? 'Generic Objects' seeks to a broader understanding of spatial elements and context.

'Typological Elements' focuses on the level of typologies, types, and architectonic elements that define the landscape of para-urban Berlin. It is of particular interest how profane elements can become symbolically charged through bricolage, how classical types mutate through their own cultivation and renovation, and how romantic and playful variance arises from brute, pragmatic forms of logic.

Berlin Urban Protocols #3 is about the fastest growing district Pankow: until 2030 around 62.000 new inhabitants are exspected. We want to know more about the challenges and opportunities from an administrative and legislative point of view to organize such an enormous growth.

Berlin Urban Protocols #2 is about the impact of Berlin's 'StEP 2025 - Wohnen' on the district of Marzahn-Hellersdorf. We want to know more about its applicability from its point of view: What does an overall city development concept mean for planning on the district level?
