The Collaboration
The exhibition was created in close cooperation between the Stiftung Exilmuseum and the Instut für Architektur, TU Berlin.
Stiftung Exilmuseum Berlin
The Exilmuseum Foundation introduces itself with the exhibition ZU/FLUCHT: It provides an insight into the future museum contents, its working methods and the plans for the new museum building at Anhalter Bahnhof.
The Stiftung Exilmuseum Berlin was founded in 2018 with the goal of erecting a museum on the subject of exile from 1933–1945 at Anhalter Bahnhof. It emerged as a private initiative and is currently developing a wide-reaching network of cooperation with institutions and archives on the subject of exile. Beside the presentation of historical subject matter, the museum is intended to help visitors learn more about “what exile really means,” in the words of Herta Müller, one of the patrons, and the relevance of the subject in our present-day society.

Natural Building Lab
Over two semesters, architecture students of the Natural Building Lab engaged in analyzing the units’ material, use, and possibilities for repurposing them, designed and planned the exhibition, and erected it with their own hands.
The exhibition architecture embodies the instructional approach of the Natural Building Lab. In collaboration with non-university partners, the students explore transdisciplinary processes in architectural theory and production and realize them on their own. The students develop new methods and formats in self-determined learning processes, in this case, they founded their own project office with the name “Studio dazwischen” (“Studio In-between”). They work with experts from the realms of architecture, urban planning, structural engineering, communication design, and cost planning. In addition, the Natural Building Lab researches climate-conscious architectural systems that use renewable resources or reuse construction materials. In this way, materials that are released in the process of transformation are assigned new functions.

Habitat Unit
In the exhibition, the Habitat Unit at TU Berlin presents its research on the life of refugees in temporary housing units (Collaboration Research Center “Re-Figuration of Spaces”).
The Habitat Unit at the Institut für Architektur deals with the global challenges presented by urbanization in the context of the worldwide crisis of climate change, poverty, and migration. It promotes participatory urban policymaking and management that takes its orientation from actual developments and needs. In this way, the Habitat Unit promotes new approaches to interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary knowledge production and works with a variety of partner institutions that range from government agencies and NGOs to grassroots initiatives.
