UNBUILDING WALLS- German Pavilion 2018: From Death Strip to Freespace

For 28 years, Germany has been united – exactly as long as the Berlin Wall existed (1961–1989). On the occasion of this parallel, we were curating the exhibition “Unbuilding Walls” at the German Pavilion at the 16th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice. The exhibition responds to current debates on nations, protectionism and division. The German Pavilion takes the parallel as an opportunity to explore the effects of division and the process of healing as a dynamic spatial phenomenon. With reference to “Freespace,” the central theme of the Architecture Biennale, special focus will be given to outstanding examples of urban and architectural design that address aspects of division and integration.
