Floating University Pavilion

Construction volunteer

Architecture: Lorenz Kuschnig

Summer 2022 / Berlin

On the site of the Floating University, the rainwater collection basin serving the former Tempelhof airfield, a diverse range of animals, plants and algae have taken root and given birth to a unique landscape: a human-made environment reclaimed by nature where polluted water coexists with the relatively new presence of the University, forming a natureculture (Haraway) or a third landscape (Clément).

Participation in the construction of the pavilion implied understanding the different phases of the assembly of an ephemeral pavilion, from the joints of the wooden structure to the inflation process of the membrane and the creation of a wooden floor.
