Architecture Beyond Four Borders: Ivan Reimann (DE)

The third lecture in the spring series features German architect of Czech origin Ivan Reimann, co-founder of the Berlin studio Thomas Müller Ivan Reimann Architekten, which has long focused on architecture and urbanism in the German capital.

In his lecture, he will examine Berlin as an extraordinarily complex urban organism reflecting historical ruptures, social transformations, and contemporary urban challenges. Through examples of his studio's projects, he will demonstrate how, despite the fragmented character of today's city, one can contribute to its development as a meaningful whole.

The lecture will also offer broader reflection on the relationship between architecture and the city, inspired by the ideas of Italian architect and theorist Aldo Rossi. It will raise the question of whether today's society, shaped by economic pressures and short-term political decisions, is still capable of creating the city as a long-term collective work.
