Shaped to the Measure of the People’s Songs

2023 marked the inception of a tradition at Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW): the construction of a yearly pavilion. Entitled Shaped to the Measure of the People’s Songs, this endeavour embraces an impetus to critically consider space and to explore its various material and immaterial implications. Each year, a new pavilion takes on a creative translation and realization of the complex question of living together into spatial and material propositions. The series continues in 2026 with Rhythms of Sympoiesis, designed by the Berlin based architectural duo studio in:so  (Li Lin and Liang Song).
