Build the Gropi-Park with Us 2024

As part of the project Bauhaus@Gropiusstadt. Shaping the Neighbourhood, we explored the question of which spaces and places are available to young people in the district — and what scope they have for shaping their environment and participating in decision-making.

In cooperation with neighborhood coordinator Juana Schulze and the Wutzkyallee Youth Center, a construction week took place from 22 to 26 July 2024. Johannes and Franz Siebler from sieblersiebler worked with young people to build tables and chairs for the youth center's garden.

The focus was on collaborative building and the experience of using unconventional craft techniques: the furniture was bent from construction steel, connected with wire, and then welded. Tabletops and seating surfaces were made of wood and concrete.
