MAKE CITY Festival
JOVIS is founding partner of MAKE CITY—Festival for Architecture and Urban Alternatives, which takes place in Berlin from June 11 to June 28. The Festival is addressing the current discourse on urban resources and urban planning in a time when investors take over large parts of Berlin, and hence its free spaces— its urban commons—become increasingly precious resources.
The Festival will embed itself throughout the city in diverse ways: it rethinks the back yard, climbs on roofs and asks, if high-rises of the future will be made out of wood. It looks back on the concept of “Electropolis” and envisions new forms of living. Over 100 founding partners are sponsors of the festival and took part in developing the program, which is available on www.makecity.berlin.
During the time of the festival over 30 curated studio talks and 40 uniquely devised city tours take place. The Czech Centre in the Wilhelmstrasse, Berlin Mitte, will be the place where the international discourse and exchange comes together. The festival invites partners to contribute to a variety of formats. MAKE CITY is decentralized; a city-wide conversation; one that forms cross-links between the architecture, art, and design scenes and makes new connections with the public. The formats will reflect the scales of urban design and engagement from the micro to the macro.
