Over the past few years the network of BAUKASTEN.BERLIN has developed a
broad range of products which all deal with memory and architecture,
town-planning and change. By discovering and documenting numerous
architectural details – in particular in Berlin - which have often
subsequently been erased in the wake of urban reconstruction processes.
Through their designs they transform the crucial act of remembering –
and charting the city – into social games and everyday design.
The
German design collective BAUKASTEN.BERLIN will be showing a selection
of their products, which emerge at the nexus of their work in
documenting, collecting and re-composing elements of architecture and
city planning. In the process of looking for a fitting location for
their products, BAUKASTEN came across a yellow-red kiosk made of
plastic, the Soviet standard issue K67, which was a fixture in Eastern
bloc cityscapes from the 1960s onwards. Today, the kiosk is rapidly
disappearing from streets and plazas as a result of changing economic
times. BAUKASTEN found a kiosk for sale in the northern Polish city of
Miastku, and shipped it with a heavy lorry back to Berlin. It will be
on display at the TALKING CITIES exhibition as well, as a habitation
for the BAUKASTEN products.
