Talk and magazin presentation: 27.06.2019 7 pm

“There are always people within their reference group who say that a change is not possible without having tried it at all.”
(Dana Giesecke, Futurzwei – Stiftung Zukunftsfähigkeit, in: the architect 3/2019)

With the step out of the orbit of our planet in the 1960s, two seemingly paradoxical developments fall into the same decade: The beginning of the space age also marks the beginning of the modern environmental movement. Radical faith in progress on the one hand, the awareness that our planet and our own existence are in a fragile context on the other.

On the occasion of the presentation of the current issue of the magazine der architekt 3/19, Katharina Beyerl (IASS, Potsdam) and Dana Giesecke (Futurzwei, Berlin) discuss in German with David Kasparek (editor of the architekt) the possibilities of putting the spaceship Earth on course in the series “We need to talk”.
