Implementation and production workshops

Implementation and production workshops + manufacture of prototypes on site, Mykolaiv oblast
Series starting in summer 2024 – desired duration until 2027

ZusammenSpiele_ Interplays _Interaction_Ensemblework are created through practical application of the now shared knowledge for sustainable reconstruction in Ukraine; building prototypes and other types of interventions in art and crafts, businesses and manufactories, by residents, linked to a network spanning knowledge, disciplines and geographies to promote the use of renewable building materials.

All this out of a desire to write a chapter of future building history.

Preparation workshops:

ZOOM workshop series April-September 2024
For the concrete opening of the process, in order to develop a common breath, the Berlin and
Ukrainian colleagues will meet for a series of workshops, digitally and on site, for workshop weeks
in Mykolaiv Oblast. We will exchange knowledge and experience about construction methods with
renewable, degradable and climate-friendly materials, introduce ourselves to the different
approaches based on a material or a group of materials, get to know the local conditions better
and better, cooperate with companies that produce these materials, understand the local
conditions for processing renewable building materials, but above all the local expertise and needs
structure.
