Leave Your Habitat
Changing the perspective before changing the organisation.
Professional environments develop their own languages, expertise and assumptions about what constitutes a realistic solution. While necessary for specialisation, these frameworks can also create blind spots and reinforce established ways of thinking. Leave Your Habitat means deliberately entering unfamiliar environments, engaging with different forms of knowledge and questioning the limits of one's own perspective. It enables cross-sector learning, challenges institutional routines and opens new approaches to complex problems.
From practice: Operation Himmelblick
Through Operation Himmelblick, moving onto rooftops literally changed our perspective on the city. Spaces previously perceived as inaccessible infrastructure became potential public resources. Activating the rooftop parking deck of a shopping centre further transformed the project: the everyday commercial environment brought different spatial conditions, stakeholders and audiences into focus. What began as an exploration of rooftops evolved into a longer-term process of neighbourhood engagement, negotiation and organisational development.
