RE: DO NOT BUILD
Architects unite to save Tempelhofer Feld's ecology and culture
By joining forces with Arts of the Working Class (AWC), Architects4THF responds to the Ideenwettbewerb Tempelhofer Feld 2024-2025, by presenting a call for contributions to interrogate the ethical role of planners in shaping the future of cities, and to question their responsibilities within the building industry.
The selected contributions will shape the flipside of AWC's Issue № 38, “Choreography”, a special edition that will be released in 75,000 copies and distributed on streets across multiple cities.
The call for contributions, “PROMPT”, aims “to incite” a broader street-public debate, and critical international reflection on the intersection of planning practices with societal needs, market dynamics, climate crisis, and participatory processes.
We are interested in projections and critical views suitable for print media. You can submit completed works or abstracts to be developed in case of final selection.
>>> Submit your proposal to prompt@architects4thf.com by 23 May 2025 23:59.

Ten years ago, a citizen's referendum successfully
overturned the city's plans to build on Tempelhofer Feld. Recently,
the city announced a new international idea competition with the
intent to develop the field, undoing the previous democratic
process.
In response, Architects4THF calls on all
architects, landscape architects, and urban planners to spread the
word: No new building on the field! Don't let an idea competition be
used to destroy the park!
Architects4THF is an
international group of architects, landscape architects, researchers
and resource planners. We join with the
THF 100% initiative and renters'
movements in Berlin to demand real solutions for affordable housing.
