AGGLO takes the stage again – AGGLO Maker Space Berlin-Buenos Aires is showcased at the 19th International Architecture Biennial in Buenos Aires 2024!
AGGLO Maker Space Berlin is a real-world laboratory for recycling spaces in urban peripheral locations and thus a contribution to the inclusive, resource-saving, sustainable city of tomorrow. The lab’s work, developed by German, Argentinian and other international contributors, was first presented in an exhibition in Berlin in 2023, which now travels to Buenos Aires. It showcases built and speculative projects and positions from architecture, urban planning and landscape architecture for abandoned sites along the former Berlin Wall.

DUCTO Urbano:
“AGGLO Maker Space Buenos Aires will interpret Puerto Madero as an urban ecotone where the city and the river meet and which so far has not mobilised its edge effects: more than an ecological reserve, it can benefit from natural processes to become a buffer against rising storm surges; more than a monofunctional commercial district, it can qualify as the main public space of the port city to enable the encounter of diverse cultural expressions. In collaboration with the a physical installation is realised in the public space between the microcentre and the ecological reserve, which will invite various collectives to offer performances, workshops and open-air conversations, prefiguring the urban life that could be installed here.” – Walter Gropius Chair (DAAD)

From 9 to 13 October 2024 “AGGLO Maker Space Berlin – Buenos-Aires” will be featured at the 19th International Architecture Biennial Buenos Aires 2024, taking place at the FAENA Art Center Buenos Aires.

In an interview “The importance of chance encounters: a debate at the Architecture Biennale” by Karina Niebla featured in the article elDiarioar, Benita Braun-Feldweg together with Sabine Müller discuss architecture as an integrating force in fragmented cities. Benita Braun-Feldweg emphasizes that “if the real estate focuses only on the economics, neither the city nor the market thrives,” highlighting the importance of linking “capital with the social value of the city, because it is an investment.”
