Andreas Hachulla + Clemens Gritl

Description: Based on the floorplan of this architectural monument from 1953-55 designed by Alfred Gunzenhauser und Paul Schwebes and the specific office-space where we show our collaborative work, we modeled a CAD-file to create different renderings through a huge crack in a wall. We prompted texts like: "Create a dark, dystopian, dilapidated, partially abandoned, AI-android-controlled office unit with cracked concrete, dripping water, and flickering LED and neon lights based on this rendering using only grayscale and Piranesi as a guide."
We combined different layers and AI-interpretations and added signature elements, especially designed for this image. We wanted to present a space-filling intervention with today´s technology and the general uncertainty of our time as a spacially limited dark vision as kind of sign, that the future might be brighter. At the time of the ceompletion of the building it stood for a revolutionary post-war modernistic approach, to break up the perimeter block development and go much higher, than the rest of the buildings at Ku´damm. Now, we want to present an imagary view into a time, that could be 100 years later.
