This year the pavilion series Shaped to the Measure of the People’s Songs continues in the frame of heimaten with the outdoor summer pavilion designed by Mae-ling Lokko and Gustavo Crembil. 

The Ileum pavilion explores pluriversal roles of architecture in confronting its historical indifference to soil ecosystems. Ileum draws upon Berlin’s Großes Tropenhaus (a large tropical greenhouse, located in the Botanischer Garten in Dahlem), as a reference site for repair of both soil ecosystems and contemporary building cultures.

The opening event includes a conversation with Mae-Ling Lokko and Gustavo Crembil on the pavilion design and its multiple material narratives. Joined by Daniel Quist, Creative Director at the OR Foundation, the conversation will unfold with soundbites from their upcoming music album Second Change. Moderated by HKW curatorial assistant Emilienne Fernande Bodo, the conversation culminates in an intimate live acoustic session artist Marvin Brooks.
