For over twenty years, the architecture \u003cbr\u003ecollective raumlaborberlin has been searching for new spaces of \u003cbr\u003eencounter and for ways of achieving cooperative urban development. \u003cbr\u003eTogether with experts from various disciplines, they experiment with new\u003cbr\u003e forms of urban practice, participation, and the joint production of \u003cbr\u003espace. \u003cem\u003ePolylemma\u003c\/em\u003e explores the work of the collective from \u003cbr\u003ediverse perspectives. Its nine members visit the sites of their work, \u003cbr\u003ecome together with long-standing colleagues and critics, dissect the \u003cbr\u003emechanisms behind their actions, and reflect on the tools and methods of\u003cbr\u003e their research-based practice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExamining numerous projects, they\u003cbr\u003e discuss strategies for learning together, experimental building, \u003cbr\u003eradical recycling, and cooperative urban development. The book is a call\u003cbr\u003e to action: space becomes an actor that fundamentally questions design \u003cbr\u003eitself and the role of architects. It offers an extensive collection of \u003cbr\u003ephotos and drawings, analyses and ideas, tutorials and building \u003cbr\u003einstructions, that continually test and explore the parameters for \u003cbr\u003eaction in urban space. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cem\u003ePolylemma\u003c\/em\u003e asks: How do we want to live \u003cbr\u003etogether in the future? It is a request to think space openly; a plea \u003cbr\u003efor the city as a sphere of action.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1999, the architectural collective raumlaborberlin has been working at the intersections of architecture, urban planning, art, and intervention with projects such as \"Working on Common Ground\" (2022, Pristina, Manifesta 14), \"Floating University\" (2018, Berlin), and \"Allmänna Badet\" (since 2014, Gothenburg).
