INTRODUCTION

Unliveable Berlin is a University of Melbourne design studio, organised and run by Melbourne based architects, Michael Roper (Director, Architecture Architecture) & Catherine Duggan (Senior Associate, Peter Elliott Architects).This studio proposes taking a group of architecture, landscape and urban design students to the ANCB Metropolitan Laboratory in Berlin where they will investigate and respond to a range of architectural and urbanconditions. The city of Berlin has undergone several periods of significant trauma and transformation. Growing out of two world wars, living through three decades of east west division followed by reunification, rebuilding and more recent bankruptcy,Berlin is riddled with the scars of its history:abandoned trenches, unfinished infrastructure, bullet ridden buildings, unrealised grandeur. Politically it is caught between socialism and capitalism. Physically, between the destruction of war and urban regrowth. Culturally, between division and unity. This is a city still coming to terms with its physical and cultural territories yet revelling in the uncertainty of its future. More than most, Berlin has a pronounced history of social exclusion and ideological seclusion. In this context we ask, how does a city express its hostilities and how, as architects, can we foster cities of inclusion?

Over three consecutive years, Unliveable Berlin will explore three distinct historical periods: 1920’s pre Nazi Berlin,1970’s divided Berlin,and 2020’s liberated Berlin. With the German capital as our ever willing laboratory rat, students will be asked consider what it means to accommodate the excluded, and to redress cultural hostilities through architecture and urban thinking.The travelling studio encourages students to explore urban opportunities with fresh eyes. Stripped of well worn reference points, the foreign cityis laid bare.They come to sense the city’s unconscious – its undercurrents – developing instincts for the manifold cultural forces that drive a place. Through the travelling studio, we aim to foster broad, global thinking problem solvers. At the conclusion of the semester, we expect our students to be versed and agile in the physical mechanisms (infrastructural, geographical) and cultural forces (political and social) that underpin urban existence, training them to look both to their subjective experience as well as outside themselves, to challenge the urban systems within which they operate.

BERLIN HISTORY THROUGH LINES 1. PRE WAR

DURING THE TIMES LEADING UP TO THE WAR, GERMANY (BERLIN) WAS IN AN UNSETTLING STATE OF AFFAIRS IN BOTH ITS ECONOMY AND SOCIAL IDENTITY. HOWEVER, DURING HITLER’S REGIME IN THE THIRD REICH, GERMANY PROSPERED AND RAPIDLY GREW. THIS PORTION OF THE DIAGRAM SHOWCASES THAT PERIOD OF STABILITY. THE LINEARITY AND REGULARITY OF THE LINES REPRESENT ORDER, UNIFICATION, DISCIPLINE AND GROWTH. 2. WW II AFTER THE WAR WHICH Occurred BETWEEN 1939 AND 1945, 75% OF BERLIN WAS LEVELED AND THE CITY WAS LEFT IN A STATE OF UTTER DISMAY AND DESPAIR. THE ABSENCE OF LINES IN THIS PORTION OF THE DIAGRAM SYMBOLISES THAT BREAK AND GAP WHERE ALL ADVANCEMENTS AND PROGRESS IN SOCIETY CEASED TO EXIST. 3. POST WAR IN AN ATTEMPT TO REBUILD BERLIN AND RESTORE ITS PRESENCE, THE ALLIES DIVIDED THE CITY INTO THE EAST AND THE WEST (GDR AND DDR). OCCUPIED AND OPERATED UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE AMERICANS, BRITISH, FRENCH AND SOVIETS, THE CITY HAD FOUR PRECINCTS. EVIDENCE OF THIS IS STILL OBSERVABLE TODAY THROUGH THE TYPE OF ARCHITECTURE AND VARIOUS COMMUNITIES THAT OCCUPY AREA OF BERLIN. THE LINES IN THIS PORTION OF THE DIAGRAM REFLECT THE FOUR QUADRANTS AND THEIR GROWTH; THE SPROUTING OF VARIOUS CULTURES AND COMMUNITIES. 4. POST BERLIN WALL THE BERLIN WALL WAS TAKEN DOWN IN 1989 AND THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT EAST AND WEST CULTURES WERE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO COEXIST AND MERGE TOGETHER. THE LINES IN THIS PORTION ILLUSTRATE THE CONVERGENCE AND AT THE SAME TIME THE STRUGGLES OF COEXISTING TOGETHER. 5. CONTEMPORARY BERLIN BERLIN TODAY IS A MELTING POT OF CULTURES AND THE ARTS. BECAUSE OF ITS UNIQUE AND RICH HISTORY, THE CITY THRIVES ON THE LOCALITY OF A NUMBER OF DISTRICTS AND PRECINCTS. THESE AREAS HAVE DEVELOPED AND BECOME CENTRES OF ACTIVITY FOR THE CITY IN WHICH WE IDENTIFY BERLIN WITH. THE LINES HERE ILLUSTRATE THE GROWTH OF THESE COMMUNITIES. THOUGH SOMEWHAT DISTINCT, BERLIN IS UNDERGOING A PROCESS OF UNIFICATION.

THE NATURE OF INCLUSION AND EXCLUSION 1. ONE FEELS INCLUDED OR EXCLUDED BASED ON THEIR STATE OF MIND. - IT IS THEIR OWN MENTAL PROJECTION OF THEIR INNER WELLBEING ON THE EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT.

2. RELATES TO A SENSE OF BELONGING - INCLUSION AND EXLUSION RELIES ON SHARED COMMON INTEREST.

3. SCALE - MANY SCALES OF INCLUSION AND INCLUSION. MEANING OF THE IDEA IS LOST AS SCALE INCREASES TOWARDS AN INFINITE VALUE.

4. THE CONCEPT IS RELATIVE

- IT IS SIMPLY A MATTER OF PERSPECTIVE. THE SUBJECT AND THE INDIVIDUAL REGARD FOR AUTONOMY GENERATES THE DISTINCTION IN WHETHER ONE FEELS INCLUDED OR EXCLUDED.

SELF

INTERROGATION OF IDENTITY THE IMAGE ON THE ADJACENT PAGE IS PART OF A MEANS TO VISUALISE THE CONDITION OF IDENTITY. THE PREMISE IS THAT IDENTITY MANIFESTS ITSELF FROM TWO ENVIRONMENTS, THAT IS THE EXTERNAL REALM OF FORMS AND THE INDIVIDUALS INNER STATE OF MIND. THE EXTERNAL REALM OF FORMS IS SOMETHING THAT THE INDIVIDUAL/WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER. THE INNER CIRCLE HOWEVER IS DETERMINED BY HOW STRONGLY WE IDENTIFY OURSELVES IN CHARACTER OR QUALITIES. THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THESE TWO SPHERES IS WHAT CREATES THESE IDENTITIES. THE MORE WE IDENTIFY OURSELVES WITH THE EXTERNAL EVNIRONMENT, THE MORE CONVOLUTED THE MATRIX BECOMES. IF WE REALISE THERE IS NO NEED TO IDENTIFY AND COME THE THE REVELATION THAT THERE IS NO IDENTITY, THE MATRIX BECOMES A VOID OF NOTHINGNESS.

“... Enlightenment Architecture is consistent with the new ideological role it had assumed. In order to become part of the structure of the bourgeois city, architecture had to REDIMENSION itself, dissolving into the uniformity ensured by preconstituted formal systems” - Manfredo Tafuri

“Order must reign but in a kind of confusion...’and from a multitude of regular parts the whole must give a certain idea of irregularity and chaos, which is so fitting to great cities” - Milizia

Only one person at any given time is to go up onto the patform. Once up there, the person diminishes and becomes the “subject”. They feel empowered with height and vistas of the city but yet succumb to nervousness as they become the centre of attention.

From above, the crowd becomes the mob, however, as one of the many down below, one loses their identity amidst the mass of bodies.

THE NODE WAS IMAGINED AND DESIGNED FROM THE NEED TO PROVIDE USERS WITH ACCESS TO BASIC AMENITIES, SERVICES AND INFRASTRUCTURE. THE NODE IS REFERRED TO AS AN URBAN TOOLKIT TO BE USED TO FOSTER BETTER COMMUNAL ACTIVITIES AND INTERACTIONS AS WELL AS ACTIVATE SPACES AND VOIDS WITHIN AN URBAN ENVIRONMENT. THE NODE ALSO SERVES A FRAMEWORK FOR BUSINESSES, IDEAS AND EVENTS WHICH MAY BE TRANSLATED ACROSS THE CITY WHERE OTHER NODES ARE LOCATED, THUS ACTING AS A DIGITAL ANCHOR IN THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT. WE OFTEN THINK TOO BIG AND TRY TO REALISE CHANGE IN THE GRANDEST OF SCALES.

AN INTERVENTION OF LIGHT THE ARCHITECTURAL PROPOSITION HERE IS A STRUCTURE THAT CONTAINS A CHAMBER AND A SERIES OF CORRIDORS WHICH HAVE BEEN DESIGNED TO TEST THE TEN CONDITIONS OF LIGHT THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY EXLPLORED. THE MAIN CHAMBER WHICH IS LOCATED UNDERGROUND IS ACCESSED VIA A SERIES OF TUNNELS. THE TUNNELS CROSS THE SITE AND ARE MEANT TO DISORIENTATE THE VISITOR SO THAT WHEN THEY ENTER THE CHAMBER THEY ARE COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF THEIR LOCALITY IN RELATION TO THE GROUND ABOVE. THE CHAMBER IS VERY DARK AND ONLY HAS RAYS OF LIGHT WHICH PENETRATE FROM THE SKYLIGHTS ABOVE. AS PEOPLE BEGIN TO POPULATE THE CHAMBER, SILHOUETTES APPEAR AND DISAPPEAR AS BODIES COME IN AND OUT OF THE LIGHT. THE TWO CORRIDORS ABOVE THE THE CHAMBER EVOKES A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE BUT IS HOWEVER MORE VISUAL AND INTIMATE IN THE SENSE THAT VISITORS CONFRONT EACH OTHER THROUGH A SERIES OF WINDOWS. THESE WINDOWS ARE SET UP IN A WAY THAT THE VISITOR MAY BE IN LIGHT OR DARKNESS.

ARCHITECTURE AS MACHINE DRAWING INSPIRATION FROM FRITZ LANG’S METROPOLIS, THE DESIGN THIS WEEK EXPLORES THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE USER AND THE BUILDING IN THE WAY THAT WE MIGHT OPERATE IT. THE FORM AND PLANNING OF THE GALLERY TAKES FROM MIES’ NEUE NATIONALEGALERIE, HOWEVER, IT HAS THE AESTHETIC OF A MACHINE IN THAT ITS SERVICES ARE MECHANICAL AND REQUIRE THE USER TO OEPRATE THEM. THE DOORS, WALL PANELS AND WINDOWS MAY ALL BE OPERATED BY LEVERS, WHEELS OR PULLEYS. I HAVE CHOSEN TO DEVELOP SUCH A DESIGN TO COMMENT ON THE WAY IN WHICH WE HAVE RELIED TOO MUCH ON TECHNOLOGY TO CONTROL ASPECTS OF OUR LIVES. AS SUCH IT HAS BECOME DETRIMENTAL IN THE WAY THAT WE HAVE REGARDED ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE USER AND THE BUILDING MUST BE ONE THAT ALLOWS US TO UNDERSTAND HOW A BUILDING WORKS AND ALLOW US TO APPRECIATE ARCHITECTURE IN THAT WAY. THIS SENSE OF TRANSPARENCY, I BELIEVE IS DEMOCRATIC AND BECOMES ACCESSIBLE TO THE GREATER COMMUNITY.

EAST SIDE GALLERY THE EAST SIDE GALLERY IS A 1.3KM STRETCH OF THE REMAINS OF THE BERLIN WALL AND IS NOW COMMEMORATED AS A MEMORIAL OF FREEDOM. THE WALL CONSISTS OF OVER 105 PAINTINGS AND ART PIECES FROM BOTH LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL ARTISTS. TODAY, IT IS CONSIDERED TO BE THE LARGEST AND LONGEST-LASTING OPEN AIR GALLERY IN THE WORLD WHICH DOCUMENTS AND EXPRESSES EUPHORIA AND FREEDOM. SINCE 1989, A NUMBER OF RESTORATION PROJECTS HAVE BEEN UNDERTAKEN TO RESTORE MANY OF THE SIGNIFICANT MURALS WHICH HAVE SINCE BEEN VANDALISED. THE GALLERY HAS BEEN PROTECTED BY THE ARTISTS AND INDIVIDUAL SPONSORS/SUPPORTERS. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT IT HAS BEEN BECOMING MORE AND MORE NEGLECTED AND FORGOTTEN. THE FINE LINE BETWEEN WHAT IS PUBLIC AND PRIVATE IS WHAT INTERESTS ME AND EVENTUALLY LED ME TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF MY CONCEPT FOR MY FINAL DESIGN PROPOSAL - CONVERSATION. THE EAST SIDE GALLERY SITS ON A FINE LINE BEING A PLACE THAT IS NEITHER OVERTLY CONTROLLED AND DICTATED SUCH AS A GOVERNMENT BUILDING OR IS IT TOTALLY DISREGARDED. THIS QUALITY PROVOKES CONVERSATION FROM THE PUBLIC AND THE COMMUNITY. CONVERSATION IS KEY HERE IN CREATING CULTURE AND I FEEL IS VITAL IN GENERATING A MORE INTEGRATED CITY THAT IS PARTICULARLY APPROPRIATE TO THE STUDIO’S THEME OF INCLUSION/EXCLUSION.

MID SEMESTER INTERIM

INCLUSION/EXCLUSION Our existential condition as human beings is constantly defined and redefined in a continuous state of flux. We Breathe. We Eat. We love. We hate. We feel. We live. We relate. We associate. We connect. We think. We do. We Exist. These are the traits that formulate the human psyche and determines our instinctive nature as well as humanistic desires. It is here and on this basis in which the conditions of inclusion and exclusion are fundamentally built upon. I use the term condition to describe inclusion and exclusion as it is to me a concept that is not deterministically bound by any specific form or idea but rather one that is subjectively constructed and constituted between the perceived and the perceiver. This middle ground. This state and sense of becoming.

REFLECTION Through the first 6 weeks of design esquisses and exercises, I explored a wide range of ideas which ranged from architectural scale, dependency and so on. However what really stuck with me and became useful were my interrogation of IDENTITY and SPACE. PLACE. VOID. 1. Identity is the way in which I explored inclusion and exclusion as a mental construct. The perspective of the perceiver and how it gives rise to whether we feel included or excluded. a. There are two conditions here – the inner identity of the self and the external environment. b. Illustrate simple parametric experiment defining the number of internal and external identities and how it gives rise to chaos. 2. Space. Place. Void. This area of exploration relates to the perceived and interrogates how the object/ architecture plays a role in formulating identities. Emphasise that I am not associating or valuing any space, place or void to have inclusive or exclusive characteristics. At this point I am merely exploring the idea as I believe that there is this duality in which architecture speaks about inclusion/exclusion. It was in week 5 when I was assigned to research the East Side Gallery that these two ideas started to come together. How? Well naturally art is a very pure form of individual expression that relates very well to identity and secondly it is manifested or created through a medium/form – usually in spaces.

DESIG N B R I E F

KULTURFORUM = CULTURE + FORUM PROGRAM: TO DESIGN/CREATE A PLACE WHICH GENERATES BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INTERESTS, WHICH ENCOURAGES ACTIVE CONVERSATION AND DEVELOPMENT IN CULTURE (ARTS, CRAFT, MUSIC, LITERATURE, CULLINARY). AN INCLUSIVE PROGRAM THAT SOCIALLY, ECONOMICALLY AND POLITCALLY CHALLENGES THE CONVENTIONS OF CULTURAL PRACTICES IN THE FIELD OF THE DESIGN, ARTS AND CRAFT. ONE THAT CHALLENGES CAPITAL COMMODITIZATION AND THE INSTITUTIONALISATION OF THE ARTS. ONE THAT PROMOTES AND ENDORSES THE FREEDOM OF ARTISTIC EXPRESSION AND DESIGN INNOVATIVITY. “If the argument against institutionalisation in art is not to merge with the conservative defence of art as a minority culture of permanent values threatened by the masses and dumbing down, then it must engage with the specifics of the social system that art is gripped by in the process of institutionalisation.” - Dave Beech, 2006 “I don’t think it is the function of art to be pleasing. Art is not democratic. It is not for the people.” - Richard Serra

“the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively.” “the ideas, customs, and social behaviour of a particular people or society.” Arts, Craft, Design, Cullinary, Music, Literature.

“a meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged.” A space for open conversation and freedom of expression. A public community.

Local and International. Past and Present.

PLACE

- Place is a space that has meaning and value to someone.

- Void is a vacuum. - In between space and place.

- Dimensions of height, depth and width within which all things exist and move.

- Place is an extension of space through cultural, social, bilogical value.

- A position at a distance from which one measure from.

- A field of Humanistic Geography

- Does not have a proram or function. - The fabric in which space and place are created from.

- It is multilayered and subjective. -It is one dimensional and is only a physica location. - it is bound by time. - Suggests movement of COMING and GOING.

- Has no spcific boundary. - It is created when the physical attributes, emotional connections and psychological perceptions are combined to impact individual meaning and value.

- Ambiguous.

- It has both OBJECTIVE and SUBJECTIVE qualities.

- Possesses only OBJECTIVE qualities.
