Bauhaus_SpaceLab 2023: Construction Site – Habitats in Transformation

Project days at the Pumpe Youth Culture Centre on Lützowstraße

Construction sites are places of urban transformation and metaphors for process and development. The new museum annex of the Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung is currently under construction. Consequently, this is also the focus of many of the Bauhaus-Archiv’s pedagogical formats at the moment.

As part of the Bauhaus_SpaceLab project, some 60 pre- and elementary school children from four daycare centres operated by the Pestalozzi-Fröbel-Haus participated at this year’s Assembly Days. The workshop introduced the kids to the topic of construction sites through games and other activities.

During the Assembly Days, the children of the participating facilities designed their own construction vests, painted and decorated crates, and jointly produced a live stop-motion film. They presented the products completed in the workshops to one another and got to know each other better in joint activities and games.

Participating artists: Barbara Antal, Carsten Cremer, Verena Cremer, Alexandre Decoupigny, Theresa Diehl, Claire Fristot, Atefeh Kheirabadi.
