Culture Berlin TXL 2024: Blick in die Ausstellung
Sunset Flughafen Tegel
The architects von Gerkan, Marg and Nickels wrote architectural history fifty years ago with the former Tegel Airport. The exhibition ‘MATERIAL CULTURE BERLIN TXL 2024. A building for the future.’ honours the 50th anniversary of the iconic airport buildings and at the same time sheds light on the transformation of the historic site into a place of innovation for urban technologies.
How will we build in the future? What visions of the city do we have today - against the backdrop of climate change and the energy transition? What is circular construction? What bio-based materials are available in contrast to conventional practice? What does materials research have to do with art?
A diverse selection of digital and analogue exhibits opens up a spectrum of interdisciplinary approaches to answers to these questions. Free guided tours complement the exhibition's supporting programme.
The exhibits include original plans by the gmp architects, Wolfgang Feierbach's visionary plastic design and contemporary art formerly exhibited at the airport. As well as objects recovered from the site that tell of its former use as a military training area. In addition to hemp lime bricks or mushroom mycelium as examples of bio-based materials, a life-size bark ball can be explored and Mother Earth can be asked for advice with the help of an AI installation.
