The fate of Berlin's Haus der Statistik (HdS) seemed to have been decided. Built by a collective of architects in the 1960s to house the former communist German Democratic Republic's (GDR) office of statistics at Alexanderplatz, the heart of GDR's capital, it was meant to be demolished to make way for a new commercial structure. Yet in September 2015, the Berlin Alliance of Artists' Studios Under Threat initiated an art intervention at HdS, unfolding a giant banner covering most of the building's main façade, and the opening of a new public centre for all manner of social, cultural purposes in the building was publicly announced. The happening was essentially symbolic as the demolition of HdS had long since been approved. Yet within only a few years it turned out to be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Today, the HdS is a unique pioneering project collectively defined and steered by a broad coalition of actors in the interests of collaborative urban development.
STATISTA, one of the art projects that has its base at HdS, explores how a cooperative urban development guided by common welfare could work on a long-term perspective. This book offers an insight into STATISTA and the events in and around HdS since 2015, aiming also to encourage artists and activists to emulate ideas and start to their own projects elsewhere.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Just a few years ago, the Haus der Statistik (HdS) at Berlins Alexanderplatz seemed doomed. Built by a collective of architects in the 1960s to house the German Democratic Republics (GDR) office of statistics, the HdS was slated to be replaced by a new commercial structure. Yet in September 2015, the Berlin Alliance of Artists Studios Under Threat succeeded with undertaking a daring art intervention, covering most of the buildings main facade with a giant banner to announce the opening of a new center for all manners of social and cultural purposes. It was the largely symbolic first step in a story of preservation and reuse that has come to seem like a self-fulfilling prophecy: Today, the HdS is a unique, pioneering project collectively led by a broad coalition of actors in the interests of collaborative urban development.STATISTA, one of the art projects located at the HdS, explores how a cooperative urban development guided by common welfare could work in the long term. This book offers encouraging insight into STATISTA and the events in and around the HdS since 2015, telling the stories of artists and activists whose ideas and projects spark hope and joy. A documentation of STATISTA, an outstanding example of collective urban development based at Berlin's Haus der Statistik (HdS), offering unique insights into the undertaking and events in and around HdS.
