Rather than seeing reconstruction as simply restoring what was lost, it explores recovery as a transformative process intertwining civic engagement, governance, architecture, ecology, and cultural memory. It highlights how material rebuilding, institutional repair, ecological care, and collective imagination shape conditions for resilience and a shared future.
A launch event will take place on 23 January at Café Tiergarten in Berlin.
Programme:
18:30 open doors

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
