Modell Berlin is a collective and meta-disciplinary laboratory for the design and study of architectural realities. It operates through close reading, attentive consideration and osmotic translation of existing conditions and historic scenarios, to clarify and re-establish origin points and to propose models of spatial care.

Modell Berlin was established in 2025, and the Halbauakademie project is the collective’s first proposal, initiating a series of interventions at critical nodes in Berlin’s urban fabric. Participants: Anton Gorlenko, Victor Karovskiy, Nikolai Mitskevich, Ekaterina Postoyuk
