This guided tour with Sonja Borstner, Assistant Curator, will give you insights into the ideas behind BAUBAU at the Gropius Bau designed by our Artist in Residence Kerstin Brätsch.

The artist Kerstin Brätsch designed an admission-free play space for kids, where more is allowed than forbidden. On the Gropius Bau’s ground floor, colourful wallpapers, structures, objects and open-ended material called “loose parts” configure flexible spaces that are shaped by children’s activities. They set the tone and decide what happens in this place, as it becomes a space for possibilities that can change from one day to the next.
