Living the City presents over 50 contributions from more than 70 participants from 20 countries in eight interlocking thematic areas. AA tutors from three different units have contributed to the exhibition, which is on from 25 September to 20 December in the Berlin Tempelhof Airport.

Cities are full of stories—simultaneous, contradictory, overlapping, and inextricably connected. Living the City tells over fifty stories from architecture, art, and city planning projects in the main hall of the former Berlin-Tempelhof Airport. The National Urban Development Policy exhibition shows processes and opportunities for action in cities across Europe.

For three months, the former airport will be transformed into a venue for city life. In a walk-through urban collage, visitors will encounter a range of stories from people and projects that are actively involved in the city and civic society. These stories ask questions concerning fundamental activities like loving, living, making, participating, learning, playing, moving, and dreaming in the city. These are stories that shape and transform, that make you feel and think. Furthermore, a wide-ranging event and public education program invites everyone to actively participate and contribute.

Amongst others, AA tutor contributions include:

Assemble: Amica Dall, Anthony Engi Meacock and Giles Smith are members of Assemble and tutors of Down to Earth (Experimental 7)

Ila Bêka & Louise Lemoine: Ila Bêka and Louise Lemoine are tutors of Homo Urbanus: Laboratory for Sensitive Observers (Diploma 16)

Rotor DC: Aude-Line Duliere and James Westcott are members of Rotor and tutors of Before, During, After, Again (Diploma 18)
