WALK AND TALK – Veranstaltungsserie der Hybrid Plattform
Erster Termin: Tag des offenen Denkmals, Samstag, 7. September, 14 Uhr – 16 Uhr, am Mathematikgebäude der TU Berlin.
Die Veranstaltungsserie „Was geht ?! Behalten und Umgestalten in unserer Stadt“ ist ein Walk and Talk Format. Auf Spaziergängen diskutieren Expert*innen beider Hochschulen gemeinsam mit Teilnehmenden akute Problemstellungen unserer Stadt. Was passiert mit altem Baubestand? Wie können wir alte Gebäude an Klimaveränderungen anpassen? Wie schaffen wir unsere Stadt ökologisch zu transformieren, anstatt durch Abriss nur noch mehr Abfall zu produzieren und Ressourcen zu verschwenden?

10-06-24“66CO2” at the
London Festival of Architecture
66CO2 is a collaboration between Panta Rhei Collaborative and Miles Dean, and about harnessing the hidden potential of extracted concrete – a material whose lifetime is currently considered limited.
The installation suggests new futures within the circular economy for this material, as well as championing its structural, functional and sculptural qualities past its first life.
The public bench is a commission as part of the LFA at the Royal Docks in London.
You can find more information about the design and fabrication here:

09-05-24“Water Wareness”
at Ghent Art Book Fair
The new publication „Water Wareness“ - a collaboration between Panta Rhei Collaborative and HumDrumPress will be available for purchase this weekend at Ghent Art Book Fair.
There will also be a presentation at 16:30 on Saturday discussing the collaborative process that went into putting this publication together.
Water Wareness is a multilayered publication that investigates how forms of water within our cities shape our urban environments, and affect our access to water as a common good in our daily inhabiting of the city. The publication contends with the questions: rather than occurring in opposition to capitalist tendencies where the state and market govern it, can individual water commoning instead become complementary to it? And, if so, how might we share the task of commoning amongst everybody in the wake of the climate emergency?

LONG LIVE URANIA 4-10!
Saturday 23 March - 3 pm
Location: An der Urania 4-10, 10787 Berlin
transformation before demolition!
The Initiative an.ders Urania has been fighting for months to preserve the high-rise building Urania 4-10, which belongs to the state of Berlin. Yet bulldozers have been ordered to start the demolition in April. Together with a broad alliance, we renew our call on the Senate: Stop this demolition immediately! Preserve the highrise Urania 4-10! Turn it into a model project for conversion! As long as the structure stands, it is still possible to stop the demolition!

12-12-23Pews and Perches 2024
Panta Rhei Collaborative, together with Miles Dean, is one of the six winners of the Pews and Perches design competition. The competition was initially conceived to help introduce more seating options across the Royal Docks and to support the area to become more inviting and accessible. It aimed to demonstrate how public realm interventions, even at a small scale, can help build a sense of place as well as positively impact people’s well-being and experience of their surroundings.
This year’s winning designs respond to the Mayor of London’s vision of transitioning to a circular economy, as set out in the draft London Plan earlier this year, creatively embracing, exploring and testing circular economy principles in their design.
The winning teams are:
- The North-Bound Collective
- Studio Green
- Poacea
- Studio_Underbar
- Panta Rhei Collaborative X Miles Dean
- Katie Fisher and Siraaj Mitha
An.ders Urania at Roundabout.ev
24.11.2023 | 18:00 | IFA Foyer |
In the next Roundtalk, the initiative @an.dersURANIA will introduce itself!
Founded in October 2023, the initiative comprises members from the fields of architecture, urban planning, landscape architecture, sociology, and art. Together, they advocate for the preservation of Urania 4-10 in Schöneberg and an immediate halt to its mechanical dismantling.
The high-rise building is owned by the state of Berlin and was constructed by Werner Düttmann in the 1960s. Despite being structurally functional, it is slated for demolition in 2024. This move contradicts the demands of the climate crisis, as demolishing a structurally sound concrete high-rise is not considered contemporary.
The talk will be held in German.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Initiative An.ders Urania Petition
The high-rise building at Urania 4-10 in Berlin Schöneberg is owned by the State of Berlin and was designed by Werner Düttmann in the 1960s. The building is set to be demolished in January 2024. This poses a risk of losing an icon of Berlin architecture. Moreover, in the context of the climate crisis, demolishing a structurally functioning concrete high-rise is an outdated practice.
Call to Action
We urge the BIM as the owner of the building and the Senate Department for Urban Development to:
1. Initiate an immediate stop of the mechanical demolition
2. Declare the property as a matter of overarching urban importance and initiate a plan for reuse
3. Transform the planned competition for the new construction into a two-stage competition for the reuse of the building
