Résumé:
In addition to Graft’s the widely published projects, like the prize-winning Hotel Q in Berlin, Restaurants Fix and Stack in Las Vegas and several international houses, the exhibition will focus on the new and unpublished work of Graft, including numerous high-rise buildings, special hotel designs and private residences, research installations as well as public projects. Graftworld refers to Graft’s specific method of work process, which fuses syntactic, semantic and phenomenological aspects into architecture. Graft uses narrative elements of cinema, exploiting space - time interconnections through storyboarding with progressive technical research of long term collaborations with various companies. The exhibit will showcase this methodology in an accessible, usable exhibition sculpture, an interactive lounge displaying not only projects of all three office locations but providing chillout zones to relax as well. Classical distinctive architecture elements like floor, wall and ceiling will be fused into a lounge-display-hybrid. Graftworld is thought to be inclusive and rather crosses and blurs boundaries than accepting their exclusive nature. This approach also touches on the increasing transition of distinct modern mono-functional living and working environments, that are blending into new urban lifestyles of the metropolitan nomads. Graftworld proposes architecture that can evolve to be sculpture, be furniture, be a product, be an urban scenario, be landscape at the same time. Design, methodology and technology are not classically “displayed”, but are integrated in the Graftworld.

Résumé:
In order to encourage the networking of autonomous individuals, free of monumentalized institutions of culture and in the name of revitalizing the true, unseen culture of Berlin, the center of the city is declared as a Free-Zone and a network of Freespaces is established. The criteria of Freespace is established as follows: 1) No a priori determination of use: use must be invented by those who dare to claim Freespace as their own. 2) Difficulty of occupation: the faint need to apply. 3) Absence of discernible order: hierarchy is frustrated; heterarchy unavoidable. Lebbeus Woods, Research Institute for Experimental Architecture, NYC, 18 November 1990, assisted by Leo Modrcin and Olive Brown
