The International Building Exhibition 1984/87 in Berlin constitutes one of the most remarkable examples to discuss “open architecture”. Almost 10,000 dwellings of public and subsidized housing were newly constructed or restored in the Kreuzberg districts adjacent to the Berlin Wall, inhabited about halfway by immigrants. Involving close to 350 German and international architectural design practices, IBA unfolded as a testing ground for participatory, postmodernist and poststructuralist debates; as well as the relation between citizenship laws and housing. The renowned author Esra Akcan, related in many ways to Turkey, Berlin and the USA, narrates in urban explorations, immigrants’ biographies and archival studies the history and reverberations of this architectural-political event.
