<div>Making Futures School launches its open call for participation:
Over the course of two weeks, 70 participants are invited to take part
in a diverse curriculum facilitated by international 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 <a
href=
"https://interspire.e-flux.com/link.php?M=1300916&N=25898&L=174754&F=H"><span
></span>Haus der Statistik</a>, Berlin. At the same time, it becomes a
dynamic actor within a process of local transformation, serving as as
a common sphere of action between participants, neighbours and civic
society.<br>
</div>
<div>After a series of short-term action-led research activities-a
Plug-In at the Floating University in Berlin, three Mobile Workshops
in Istanbul, Palermo, and Oberweissbach-Making Futures School
situates its school in Haus der Statistik to explore forms of
productive cooperation, exchange, solidarity and living. These
activities will entail a mix of process-driven as well as applied
research strategies, including-but not limited to-interventions
throughout the building; working with the community to shape pioneer
uses; or rethinking education in spatial practices.<br>
</div>
<div>The school will continue to explore Making Futures'
action-research fields:<br>
<br>
Collectivity: How can we construct and read the built environment as
bringing together the cultural, the social, the economic and the
political?<br>
Resource: How can architecture be understood as a resource calling for
lasting dynamics, such as recuperation and maintenance?<br>
Education: How can educational curricula be reworked to better reflect
the social potential of the spatial practices?<br>
Practice: What possibilities emerge when we understand architecture as
being not just concerned with the production of shapes and objects,
but as a form of agency itself?<br>
</div>
<div>In addition to the working groups taking place during the day,
Making Futures School will also host a public programme. The<i> night
school</i> will comprise reading groups, screenings, lectures and
performances - sometimes hosted by the School working groups and
sometimes by external invitees-but is an open invitation for the
general public intentionally seeking further cross-pollination and
knowledge exchange beyond the School.<br>

<div><b>About Making Futures</b></div>
<div>Making Futures Bauhaus+ is an action research project that
addresses questions of architecture as a collective form and
architecture as a resource. Departing from these two perspectives, it
operates as an experimental research unit that advances future paths
for architectural practice and education. It was initiated in 2018 as
a cooperation between <a
