“VISITING : Inken Baller &
Hinrich Baller, Berlin 1966-89”
exhibition in Berlin, Hamburg, Kassel and Zurich
In their joint creative period between 1966 and 1989, Inken Baller and Hinrich Baller designed striking buildings in the former West Berlin with an independent, expressive and distinct architectural language. While these buildings polarized the professional world at the time, their projects were loved by Berliners and remain an expression of unconventional housing construction to this day.
The exhibition stages a sensual revisit to the inhabited spaces: recent interior photographs from us show the delicacy and permeability of the spaces, the integration of common areas into the residential buildings and their unusual floor plan solutions. Accompanied by the audio recordings of today’s residents and archival material, the exhibition documents architecture that has been used, lived in and experienced, asking the question of what today’s housing construction can learn from this open understanding of space.
A publication accompanying the exhibition "Visiting Inken Baller and Hinrich Baller, Berlin 1966-89" was published in March 2022 by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther und Franz König.
