Can the periphery mediate between country and city? Together with Eva Hertzsch and Adam Page, the students of an art course at Walter-Gropius-Schule built a connecting line between Alexanderplatz and the Dahme-Spreewald district. Central train station right in the middle: Gropiusstadt. Using a large model and an online tutorial, the students think about how the city is sustained, about mobility in the countryside and the centrality of the periphery.
