Urban Living Room explores how belonging is actively constructed, not passively granted, through everyday spatial and cultural practices in Berlin. In a city shaped by migration and marked by cultural friction, where over 53% of the residents were not born in the city, questions of arrival, identity, and coexistence shape everyday life. How can rituals and urban practices cultivate spaces of care and inclusion in times of polarization and fragmentation? Through memory mapping, spatial observation, and storytelling, the seminar investigates the “living room” as both domestic and urban condition. Open to students from architecture, urbanism, social and cultural studies, media, and the arts, the course welcomes those interested in questions of migration, identity, and space. The semester culminates in a collective zine and the co-creation and hosting of our own “urban living room” in Berlin. The project results in a series of narrative, spatial, and participatory outputs that explore how belonging is experienced and co-created in Berlin.
