Weshare Berlin, from House to Housing

TUD Actualities workshop ANCB Berlin

@ TU Delft
17 November 2017 / 23 November 2017

TUD Actualities workshop ANCB Berlin. Within the workshop WeShare Berlin thirty students of The Why Factory collect and compare various ways in which habitable space in the city is being shared.

Within the workshop weShare Berlin thirty students of The Why Factory collect and compare various ways in which habitable space in the city is being shared. How collaborative are current housing developments? And how do they compare to developments of the last century? Can the future become increasingly co-operative? Where does sharing create conflict and where does opportunity arise? The analysis of 6 typical Berlin housing typologies from different periods of the 20th and 21st century led to six unique, alternative strategies for a shared future:

What if we share…

by                                Visibility

through personal         Expression

by giving                     Access

and accepting              Ambiguity

by preserving              Anonymity

and cooperating in       Constriction

 

Each strategy envisions sharing beyond its literal meaning of a common physical space – an entrance hall, laundry room, play room, etc. Can we share privacy, personal taste, beyond the confinements of our housing complex? Each case study is re-imagined through a series of increasingly radical interventions, which maximize precisely the manifold means of sharing that were initially observed.
