Valuing complexity and challenging the idealistic, utopian mindset of the 60s and 70s, raumlaborberlin mixes architecture, urbanism, direct action, performance and various types of arts with ideas of the future. Their urban practices and projects bring us together, teach us the meaning of community and to be intimate with our neighbourhoods. For Extra Extra no. 21, Nick Axel speaks with Markus Bader, an integral member of the raumlabor group, about the importance of connecting with the present, our peers and this tremendous world we live in.
