Description
The Haus der Statistik at Berlin's Alexanderplatz was once slated for demolition, but in 2015, it became the site of an art intervention that marked the beginning of a new chapter in its history. Today, this unique building is home to a pioneering project that explores cooperative urban development guided by common welfare. This book tells the story of STATISTA, one of the art projects located at the HdS, and the events surrounding it since 2015. It offers insight into the ideas and projects of artists and activists who are sparking hope and joy in their community. With its focus on collaborative urban development, this project is a self-fulfilling prophecy that has come to seem like a necessary step towards creating more sustainable cities. Through its stories and events, this book provides an encouraging look at how cooperative urban development can work in the long term.
