THE BIG BLUE BANANA TRANSFORMATION
The utopias of change, with regards to the climate crisis at hand, the Baukunst Studio has tackled the geo-social issue of the 21st century in “Denken Sie Jetzt!” in summer 2021.
In the so-called Blue Banana, we encounter the systems of today's globalization with the complex infrastructural, technical and organizational channels that sustain human life between city and countryside. It is the essence of globalized hyper-capitalism and extractivism. How did networking structures evolve in relation to constantly transforming dependencies on, for example, historical trade routes, fossil fuels, politically strategic processes, energy and information flows or ecological conditions? How can these be steered in a just, sustainable and resilient direction for the entire ecosystem of our planet? How can human, plant and animal habitats coexist in a universal network rather than just in isolation?
