The Survival Lounge is part of the exhibition [FRAU] ARCHITEKT*IN, organised by the Berlin Chamber of Architects, the Institute of Architecture (TU Berlin) and the Architekturmuseum (TU Berlin) in cooperation with BHROX bauhaus reuse, Ernst-Reuter-Platz.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [FRAU] ARCHITEKT*IN can be seen from 3 June to 8 July 2021 at the bauhaus reuse Pavillon, Ernst-Reuter-Platz, Berlin.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The three Survival Lounge seminars,\u00a0i.design \u2013 ii.build \u2013 iii.inhabit,\u00a0<\/em>were organised by the Chair of History of Architecture and Urbanism at the Institute of Architecture, TU Berlin, and taught by Sarah Rivi\u00e8re, Hermann Schlimme and Helle Schr\u00f6der. The concept for a student-run Survival Lounge was proposed by Franziska Ne\u00dfeler in an earlier seminar held by Sarah Rivi\u00e8re and Matth\u00e4a Ritter-Wurnig at the Chair of Building Technology and Architectural Design.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Survival Lounge project aims to create a space for intersectional feminist thought, exchange, support and performance. It is part of a larger fight against inequality and discrimination in society, in academia, in the built environment and in the architectural profession. Sara Ahmed\u2019s book\u00a0Living a feminist life<\/em>\u00a0(2017) contains a Killjoy Survival Kit of things that \u201cI know I need to do and to have around me to keep on going on,\u201d and here we support each other\u2019s survival in this sense: validating identity, empowering ongoing projects, and boosting every voice as a vital contribution to ongoing feminist discourse.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In 2020 the Survival Lounge was designed and built as a prototype: as a liminal zone of doubt, immersion and gathering, a zone of tidal nature, located on (or at both sides of) a threshold, a place where doubt could be transformed into potential through discussion and reflection. Due to the COVID-situation this lounge cannot be presented as a physical space today. Instead we offer a virtual Survival Lounge with interactive spaces of contradiction and recalibration, reflection and togetherness, power and support. \u00a0Please use the links below to cross the threshold:\u00a0Welcome to the virtual Survival Lounge.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Element House<\/strong><\/p>\n El\u00e9onore Hayar, Vani Monjaraz Tec, Selen S\u00f6nmez<\/p>\n Website<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Film<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Unity<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Element Film<\/strong><\/p>\n Nura Hoda Dag<\/p>\n
