Markus and IBA’27

»I imagine to myself that there is a different Stuttgart Region hiding behind the façade. That one is an urban landscape where shared spaces and property is lovingly cared for and considered more valuable than the private property hidden behind fences and gates. In that urban landscape, children play in clean streams, people tend to communal gardens and every living thing has its place. The idea that everything is connected to everything else is not a naive or sentimental daydream. In fact, it is a matter of survival for our planet. I think that more and more people are noticing this. That’s why, for me, the task of this first IBA after the coronavirus pandemic will be to make that connection.«
