A comprehensive project-related communication and discourse program is offered in the context of KISR-Kunst im Stadtraum (Art in Urban Space). Guided tours, speaker series and workshops offer concrete opportunities to interact closely with art in urban space, urban history, architecture and city planning as well as to enter into conversation.
Since September 1st, 1979, the Anweisung Bau (Construction Directive) contains guidelines for the realization of art in architecture and art in urban space. The state of Berlin is committed to this tradition and aims to strengthen the significance of art in architecture, including its mediation, maintenance and documentation. Since 2024, the Day of Architecture brings building-related art projects into focus. Tours and discussion formats give insights into their development and the everyday challenges. The Day of Architecture takes place nationwide every year on the last weekend in June.
The Bildungsverbund Urbane Künste ERbeLEBEN initiates and promotes artistic education projects in the fields of public space, urban development and urban history, architecture, art and design in urban space as well as urban youth cultures.
