For 28 years, Germany has been united – exactly as long as the Berlin Wall existed. On the occasion of this parallel, GRAFT and Marianne Birthler are curating the exhibition “UNBUILDING WALLS” at the German Pavilion at the16th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice. The exhibition´s special focus is on the unparalleled void of the Wall strip and the projects that have redefined this former death space into a new living space with the help of various strategies. 28 projects show how the heterogeneity of different approaches, typologies, actors and results creates a broad spectrum of architectural debates and solutions.
