“Make all of Berlin a world exhibition!”
GRAFT is supporting Berlin's bid to host the 2035 World Exhibition. Since 2024, GRAFT founding partner Thomas Willemeit has been volunteering as a member of the international concept team for this endeavor.
The Expo 2035 aims to serve as a catalyst and platform for addressing urgent global issues in Berlin, including urbanisation, lifestyles, technology, and architecture. How can we live sustainably, inclusively, and aesthetically in tomorrow's growing cities?
Berlin will be involved holistically: as well as a site for the central exhibition of the country pavilions, neighbourhood laboratories will enable Berlin initiatives to present themselves, thus making the individual districts more accessible to guests from all over the world. The entire city will thus become a laboratory for the future and a showcase for the metropolis's efforts to become sustainable over the next ten years.
GRAFT, in collaboration with LAVA and other architecture and planning partners, will be responsible for translating conceptual ideas into spatial strategies and concrete implementation logic. The question is how exhibition spaces, event formats and spaces for interactions can be designed so that exhibiting nations and institutions enable visitors to experience, question and help shape complex topics. This is an important area in which the interactions and interconnections between architecture, mobility, energy, digitalisation and social infrastructure play a key role.
