NEU IM CLUB 2/22KO/OK und ARQ07.04.22, 7pm

Young architects at the BDA

07.04.2022 at 7 pm D A Z — Deutsches Architektur Zentrum

New in the Club: A series of talks by the magazine “Die Architekt” and the DAZ.

Talk with Fabian Onneken and Jan Keinath (KO/OK Architektur) and Lydia Rintz and Philipp Quack (ARQ Architekten Rintz und Quack).

New in the club – the two young architecture offices KO/OK Architektur (Stuttgart/Leipzig) and ARQ Architekten Rintz und Quack (Berlin) will introduce themselves on Thursday, April 7 at the DAZ and talk to “Die Architekt” editor Elina Potratz about their projects and visions.

The office KO/OK Architektur has received a lot of recognition for their bowling alley in Wülknitz, just recently a recognition at the German Architecture Award. With their projects they try to create spatial quality through simple architectural ideas, working as intuitively and honestly as possible with materiality.

After ARQ Rintz Quack Architekten were able to realize a remarkable new building shortly after founding their office with the construction of the new fire and rescue station in Gütersloh, the young office has now specialized in urban planning. The two are interested in how urban planning and ecology can be combined and new mobility concepts implemented, and how this can penetrate more strongly into the political consciousness.

The newly appointed members of the BDA also present themselves in a virtual exhibition on the website www.neuimclub.de: Young architects with ideas and potential show their projects and tell something about themselves.

We ask that you wear FFP2 masks and keep your distance.

Profile

DAZ

With Laura Holzberg and Alesa Mustar, the German Architecture Center DAZ has a new curatorial and artistic direction since this year.

While Laura Holzberg has already been accompanying the DAZ for ten years, Alesa Mustar joined the team in 2020. The two of them are dedicated to social issues on a social, political and spatial level beyond architecture. Thus, the new dual leadership started in September with a series of talks dealing with socio-cultural paradigm shifts and the related questions of equitable space production. They understand the DAZ as an enabling and discursive space.

“In terms of the DAZ, I see the idea of a Support Structure as something that provides a basic structure within which potential can be released. DAZ as a place for encounter and exchange, where current social and architectural issues are negotiated.” (Holzberg, curator and space strategist)

“Interacting with the public means being in constant correlation with our target groups, which describe a wide range: From academia, politics, construction to artists, activists and designers. We take up current processes and debates and see ourselves as social researchers with a resonance space – the DAZ – which may be a platform of expression and mediator.” (Mustar, curator and urbanist)

The German Architecture Center DAZ is an initiative of the Association of German Architects BDA. It is a laboratory of ideas, a place of exchange, mediation and debate.

The DAZ aims to feature alternative spatial practices: Humankind and the environment are placed at the center, architecture is seen in its complex social dimension and responsibility, and the city is considered as a reflection and negotiating surface for socio-cultural and political developments.

With exhibitions, installations, performances, workshops, and conversations, topics related to physical and social space are initiated, addressed, and discussed. Projects are developed in intensive and interdisciplinary collaborations – with institutions and actors from architecture, art, culture and the urban design – to enable an expansion of knowledge and impact.

In the middle of the strongly developing area of the river Spree between Berlin Mitte and Kreuzberg, the DAZ is located in the immediate vicinity of the Radialsystem, the Heizkraftwerk Mitte, Spreefeld and the Ostbahnhof. On the site are offices of various architecture and engineering companies, design agencies and a restaurant with an outdoor terrace.

As an open house, the DAZ offers space for conferences, seminars, lectures and exhibitions with flexible and individually tunable infrastructure, covering around 210 square meters of public as well as private institutions and companies. Design your event at the German Architecture Center (DAZ), which offers a special setting with its central location and its program of events around architecture and the city.
