This Seminar researches collective spaces with a special focus on the „lobby “ as a central space of encounters and negotiation. The starting point is a field research with an attentive observa- tion and understanding of a diverse range of existing lobbies in Berlin. What is the unique character of each of those spaces? What do they tell us about the rest of the building? Which spacial elements provoke collective actions? How does the choice of furniture and material influence human habits?
We want to learn from the existing by making large scale models, drawings and reflect our observations in writing. We want to understand more about the construction, the use materials, the haptic of surfaces and other key details.
Finally the collective results of the seminar will be exhibited in the lobby of the IfA building.
