4/10 Denk Mal Bar: Klär-Wässerchen with Noël + Lukas (Malheur&Fortuna)
5:00 - 8:30 pm
The 'denk mal bar' invites you to discuss the heritage conservation of tomorrow over a cool drink - because heritage conservation is and always has been a matter of negotiation. The bar becomes a discursive sculpture, its base is filled with literature that can be quickly picked up during lively discussions. This use echoes the former Kunsthalle Bar, which operated in the same space for two decades from 1984.
The Werdhölzli wastewater treatment plant with its natural pond became the starting point: this is where Malheur&Fortuna began to take an in-depth look at the Swiss wastewater system. Malheur&Fortuna is an architecture firm based in Basel and focuses on hidden potential in the built environment, as well as organizations and institutions, in order to use them for transformation projects. A special focus is placed on topics that have a major influence on our living spaces but are often not recognized as designable elements: Traffic and mobility, active and decommissioned industrial areas and logistics structures, sewage treatment and incineration plants or cisterns and tunnels.
During the opening hours of S AM, the denk mal bar offers a small selection of self-service bottled drinks at recommended prices:
Beer CHF 4, soft drinks CHF 3, mineral water CHF 2.
On selected Thursday evenings, experts from the fields of architecture and heritage conservation invite you to their signature drinks and informal discussions on the future of heritage conservation.
The denk mal bar was developed and operated by the architecture collective squadra for the exhibition “What Was Could Be.”
