Deep Encounter is a floating pavilion built for the biennale „sonsbeek20→24: force times distance ⏤ on labour and its sonic ecologies“. It serves as a social gathering space and seeks to give equal consideration to both humans and nature in the park. The floating pavilion exists in nature but outside of its rules. Aside from the fact that it floats, the pavilion takes on a very artificial character. The round polygon shape of the Pavilion, a crystal-like constellation of triangles, is meant to emphasise its man-made qualities—floating starkly just off the shore of Grote Vijver, the park’s biggest pond.
Love is risk, love is beauty, love is decision, love is a permanent challenge. It’s about discovering, leaving behind, opening up, letting in and caring for. It’s transformative, it’s an adventure and a zone de repos (place to rest).
Love is not a stable condition but a fluid relationship, that is recreated each day. It is a possibility.

How can we enjoy the dramatic arts in the pandemic age? How can we go to the theatre without the fear of infection, without feeling lonely in the audience wearing masks and surrounded by antiseptic surfaces? How can we save the arts from being reduced by health care restrictions?
For the Theatre Künstlerhaus Mousonturm raumlabor developed a new, pandemic-conform space made of clay. The new theatre has 20 family-balconies for the audience and a 360 ° stage for the artists.

FLOATING UNIVERSITY e.V.
In 2018, Floating University Berlin was initiated by raumlabor as a temporary inner-city laboratory for collective, experiential learning and transdisciplinary exchange.
The founding year of the Floating University saw a diverse breadth of visitors involved to varying degrees with the activity on site, creating a unique ecosystem. The program consolidated a network of practitioners, who towards the end of 2018 decided to continue the experiment by transitioning from a ‘temporary’ project into an association: Floating University e.V.
Over the course of two weeks, over 150 participants took part in a diverse curriculum convened by practitioners in the field of spatial practices. Acting as a non-disciplinary learning environment, the School proposes, designs, builds, negotiates, maintains, performs and celebrates an educational and convivial space in and around Haus der Statistik, Berlin. At the same time, it becomes a dynamic actor within a process of urban transformation, serving as a common sphere of action between participants, neighbors and civic society.
We are proud and exited to announce our new book: Floating University Berlin 2018 – an illustrated report
It is a chronological reflection, in pictures, of the first year of the Floating University. In it we tell the initial story of our visionary inner city offshore-laboratory for collective, experimental learning, knowledge transfer and the formation of trans-disciplinary networks to challenge the routines and habits of urban practices.

Out now: „House of Time on living in the now“ is a look back at the social and artistic project that was started in Bruges in 2017. It is the story of an exceptional place, where youngsters can be, think about change and, above all, live in the now, by collectively togetehr with the artists shape spaces, moments and protocols. As these youngsters design and build together, friendships are made, relationships forged, talents discovered and change processes – small and large – are set in motion.
We are very happy to announce that the sauna building, part of our Bathing Culture project in the former industrial harbor of Gothenburg, has won the SAVG Architecture Award 2015 (Swedish Association of Architects Gothenburg Region).
statement of the jury: The architects of Sweden Västra Götalands architecture prize 2015 has been assigned to the Sauna in Frihamnen (Bathing Culture Göteborg)
Like a stranded container it stands there. A slight unshaped figure with a corrugated surface, in the old basin of Frihamnen. The sauna gives vitality, contributes to new life and a new future. With its zest for life and will to create, the sauna becomes more than just a creative haven it also becomes a vitamin injection for the whole town.
The sauna building is also one of 4 nominees for the Kasper Salin-priset 2015 , the National Swedish Architecture Award.
Situated in an unlikely pocket along a canal in Bruges—one of the few remaining industrial sites in the historical port city—the project reprograms and reactivates this factory area into a sphere of collective imagination, action, and transformation. The project evolves slowly over time: developed in collaboration with local youth, the House of Time enables them to work together to find solutions to social and community problems through discussions, experiments, and the act of living together. The project is part of the Bruges Triennial 2018: Liquid City, for the duration of which the place is open to all.
We are excited to announce that the first edition in the Urban School Ruhr Series „EXPLORATIONS IN URBAN PRACTICE“ is out!
