Post-industrial construction of architecture increasingly involves “curtain wall” systems, often using glass, resulting in insulated environments. “Let it Breathe”, our installation at the Walls of Public Life, part of the Seoul Biennale 2025, illustrates that despite other functions that walls must deliver, they must enable the flow of air. The wall is thus porous, enabling the interiors to breathe. Rather than a mere skin, it is load bearing, using the heavy mass of its material as a climate strategy. The desired porosity provides the opportunity to express ornamentation, thereby humanising the wall.

“Let it Breathe” celebrates the thinking hand. Being made with materials that contain the human fingerprint, it becomes radically more human. Through the conscious use of local materials and the expertise of artisans, it offers a tactile experience for all passersby, creating a human-scale experience.

In the context of fast-paced modern life, “Let it Breathe” is a contemporary expression of architecture that remains rooted to its context by applying local materials and skills in today’s time. Negotiating the man-made and machine-made in an optimum balance, it expresses human ingenuity from an architectural to a city scale. Rather than neglecting the ordinary aspects of architecture, the installation seeks to elevate the banal through paying attention. Good architecture makes the ordinary extraordinary.

We’re still deeply moved by the number of people who joined us and the incredibly positive response.

Held on May 9 at Ocean Space, Venice, during the opening week of the Venice Architecture Biennale 2025, Beyond the Prize brought together six international architecture awards and leading architects to critically reflect on the purpose, impact and trajectory of awards amid pressing planetary, social and environmental challenges.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to such an energising and meaningful gathering.

Special thanks to:

Posted • What will our built environment and urban development look like in the future? What role will a new approach to materials play?

This was the topic of BUA Open Space #4 last week in the former tower of .

Cluster Co-Director Claudia Mareis was joined on the panel by architect and Technical University professor Anupama Kundoo () and Berlin’s former Senate Building Director Regula Lüscher (). The insightful discussion was moderated by .

It quickly became clear that it is not just about selecting the right materials, preferably natural and locally available. Communication and negotiation processes are at least as important for turning innovative approaches into reality.

Following the stimulating discussion, the guests were able to gain insights into state-of-the-art research and practice on materials that have so far been rather unusual in a pop-up exhibition.

Anupama Kundoo and her studio showed examples of building with as-yet unconventional materials and practices, Florian Foerster presented pioneering materials developed at and at the Experimental Fellowship () at Bauhaus Earth. Finally, several researchers from Matters of Activity provided prototypes and material samples for the exhibition and gave insights into their research.

A big thank you goes to:
Dimitra Almpani-Lekka (), Pelin Asa (), Maja Avnat (), Bastian Beyer (.byr), and , Johanna Hehemeyer-Cürten (), Vera Meyer (.meer_), .miodragovic, Iva Rešetar, .sauer, , and .

Many thanks to the Berlin University Alliance () for the opportunity to enter into dialogue with interested citizens on our topics at such a unique location.
