Nature reserve Tempelhofer Feld, Berlin 2030


Laboratory for the Coexistence of People and Nature

Nature reserve Tempelhofer Feld, Berlin 2030


Laboratory for the Coexistence of People and Nature
On the former airport site, a coexistence of people, plants and animals is being renegotiated in a test space

Type of project
  • Systemic changes

Today we are confronted with a new reality. We have to face the consequences of man-made climate change. Our survival is at stake. The question is: how can we humans inhabit our planet, together with animals and plants, in a resource-efficient and circular way? How about initiating a project that, like in a laboratory, works on the construction of a resilient ecosystem? We have proposed Michael Müller, the Mayor of Berlin, the former Tempelhof Airport as the venue for this renegotiation. The results could be presented in Berlin in 2030 at the International Building Exhibition (IBA) and the International Garden Show (IGA). New perspectives, borne of an awareness of sustainability and compassion, would open the human-centred perspective to a multitude of possibilities, experiences and concrete models. How about considering fauna and flora as part of our common heritage, as important as our art, language and that amazing mix of “performance and farce” that has always defined our species.
