Civic Engagement through Urban Intervention: The BMW Guggenheim Lab
How might public architecture foster civic engagement?
On the evening of May 31 an expert panel gathered around the subject of public archictecture and civic engagement under the aegis of the BMW Guggenheim Lab at the American Academy in Berlin. Architects Wilfried Wang and Frank Barkow joined architectural historian Andres Lepik, curator Maria Nicanor, and sociologist Cordelia Polinna for an engaging foray into the ways and means the built environment can foster or frustrate civic engagement with the urban world.
