DEEP NORTH. The polar icecaps are melting. The sea level is rising. The deserts are expanding. Natural disasters, climate wars and migration are on the increase.
Imagine the following scenario: the Spree has burst its banks. Like Noah’s Ark, the House of World Cultures, now a life raft, floats through Berlin’s new swampland. The city is in a state of emergency. The way we perceive and use our environment will have to change radically and this includes the everyday urban space around us. As a temporary conurbation, will the emergency camp - whether in civil war zones, or in the wake of natural disasters - become an urban model of society in transition?
