BerLINights: Mapping safety after dark
Exploratory nighttime walk with architect Elena Agudo-Sierra
Participants will explore and examine the dynamics of safety through the lens of urban dark infrastructure. By engaging in exploratory nighttime walks, applying collective mapping techniques, and analyzing both objective and subjective data, participants will identify areas of safety and vulnerability in the urban environment after dark. The innovation lies in the combination of tools such as physical tagging, puzzle scanning, and/or WebGIS. Through personal reflections and group discussions, a collective manifesto will be created to envision a safer urban nighttime.
7:30–10:30 pm
Meeting point: Radialsystem, foyer
Participation is free
SATURDAY, MARCH 15
Mountains of Berlin: Documenting Landfills of Postwar Rubble
By Adam Przywara and Jonathan Banz
In the aftermath of World War II, one-fifth of the rubble which resulted from the Allied bombings of Germany were in Berlin. Where did that mass of debris go? The walk will investigate and document one of the so-called Trümmerberge, landfills of postwar rubble. During the day in Volkspark Friedrichshain participants will learn about, and use a variety of site-documentation techniques, including frottage and laser scanning. Juxtaposing the visual data with information found in historical sources, participants will attempt to grasp the complexity of the manufactured mountain.
Useful to bring along:
-Snacks
-Phone with camera
-Power banks
10am–4pm
Meeting point: Restaurant & Biergarten Schoenbrunn, Volkspark Friedrichshain
The Joy of Constructing Situations
A Situationist workshop by Dérive
Taking place in and around the Radialsystem, participants will create a series of “situations,” or temporary architectures. We learn from the Situationist International and pay homage to the work Dwellings by Charles Simonds in creating our own imaginative worlds through the joy of stacking brick-by-brick, step-by-step. We will provide the bricks made out of clay or plaster and all the necessary materials and tools for the workshop.
10am–4pm
Meeting point: Radialsystem, foyer
(UN)COMMON THREADS
Workshop and speculative storytelling game by Wit(h)nessing
Participants will collaboratively craft alternative narratives by delving into the layers of human and nonhuman histories, actualities, and virtualities that shape different spaces and worlds. Using image and text cards, players will weave stories with overlooked perspectives, odd relations, or hidden connections, opening pathways to reimagine future scenarios. The game encourages imaginative thinking across diverse contexts, inviting participants to think beyond the constraints of the present.
6–8pm
Meeting point: Radialsystem, foyer
RADIO LINA
A sound installation by AtelierRemoto + AlteSfere
As part of the project “Periple Duet” by Triennale de Lisboã, the architects and a sound designers of AtelierRemoto and AlteSfere will record sounds relating to multiple meanings of the word “conviviality” on a journey through southern Europe. Focusing on peripheral areas, traversing five countries, and stopping by communities, associations, and individuals, “conviviality” becomes an action and a way of inhabiting. During the Festival, they will occupy a niche at Radialsystem, where field recordings, stories, and encounters collected during the journey from Milan to Lisbon will be transmitted and shared.
6pm and 7:30pm
At Radialsystem
