Construction of a new laboratory building for the Berlin University of Applied Sciences (BHT) on the Mitte campus. The state of Berlin, represented by the Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion, is holding an open two-phase art-in-architecture competition for professional visual artists and artist groups for the new WAL (Wedding Advanced Laboratories) laboratory building for the Berlin University of Applied Sciences. A budget of up to EUR 300,000.00 incl. VAT for fees, direction, material and production costs including all ancillary costs is available for the realization of the art. The competition is an open, two-phase art competition for professional visual artists and artist groups. In the first phase, participants are asked to develop basic artistic solutions in the form of an idea sketch with conceptual considerations for the new construction of the WAL laboratory building. The jury will select up to 12 concepts for the 2nd phase, in which a detailed elaboration of the design for realization is expected in addition to the basic solution approaches. The jury will be composed of the same members in both phases. The competition procedure will be anonymous. The competition language is German. The competition documents will only be made available digitally via the competition platform in German. All documents of the participating artists must also be written and submitted in German.
