" This year Studio 2 is turning its attention to monumental civic space - interrogating how this typology might be activated and contextualized. We are working in Berlin, and will re-address the plans for the Berlin Stadtschloss, currently projected as a reconstruction of the 18/19th Century palace of the Prussian Kings after decades of controversy and detailed alternatives. We will be using this highly visible and contentious site to question what sort of monumentality suits Berlin, and in doing so will investigate the factors and priorities that have shaped the city’s growth over the past 20 years. "
Monuments are not crimes. They merely announce who is in charge of our public memory.
