Floating University is a nature-culture learning site where practitioners from a wide range of backgrounds meet to investigate alternative, biodiverse forms of co-habitation in a partially contaminated rainwater basin, part of the former Tempelhof airport. Initiated as a temporary project in 2018 by architecture group Raumlabor, since 2019 the association has continued the experiment: to open, maintain, and take care of this unique site while bringing non-disciplinary, radical, and collaborative programs to the public. In other words, it is a place to learn to engage, to embrace the complexity, navigate the entanglements of the world, to imagine and create different forms of living.
