The site of Floating University is a rainwater retention basin serving the former Tempelhof airfield in Berlin, where a diverse range of animals, plants and algae have taken root and given birth to a unique landscape: a human-made environment reclaimed by nature where polluted water coexists with the relatively new presence of the University, forming a natureculture (Haraway) or a third landscape (Clément).Sarah Bovelett, Licia Soldavini, Jeanne Astrup-Chauvaux, Markus Bader of Floating University will discuss the various aspects of the project, its cycles, the troubles, the learnings and the perspectives of the basin and its agents.
Floating University serves as a living laboratory where polluted water and diverse ecosystems coexist with academic and community activities. One of these activities is the learnscapes program, which emphasises collaborative knowledge production and fosters a space for unlearning, relearning, and co-learning. Floating University challenges traditional educational models by engaging with the site’s natural and human elements, promoting an integrative approach to environmental and social justice.
The public lecture is presented in collaboration with Bergen Arkitektforening.
Floating Universitys trip to Bergen is funded by the Erasmus + Teaching Staff Mobility program in connection with TU Braunschweig university.
