Fifty years ago, the architects von Gerkan, Marg and Nickels wrote architectural history with the former Tegel Airport. To mark this anniversary, the exhibition “MATERIAL CULTURE BERLIN TXL 2024. A building for the future” celebrates the highlights of the past and at the same time builds a bridge to the transformation of the airport into a centre of innovation. What stories do the buildings of the former airport tell and how will this story be continued in the heart of the new industrial and research park for urban technologies?
What visions of the city do we have today – against the backdrop of climate change and the energy transition? What is circular construction? What bio-based materials are there in contrast to conventional practice? What does materials research have to do with art? The wide range of digital and analogue exhibits in the exhibition show a spectrum of interdisciplinary approaches to answers to these questions.
These include original plans by the architects, Wolfgang Feierbach's visionary plastic design and contemporary art formerly exhibited at the airport. As well as objects recovered from the site that tell of its former use as a military training area. Or a telephone that can be used to call Mother Earth to ask how she is doing.
The program can be found here.
Opening weekend: September 7 and 8, from 10:00 to 17:00.
