Flussbad Berlin – Die Wiederentdeckung des Spreekanals als Entwicklungsachse und Impulsgeber

The brothers Tim Edler and Jan Edler have been working at the intersection of art and architecture since 1997. In 2000 they launched their studio realities:united to develop and produce art and hybrid installations in urban and architectural contexts. In addition to a range of art, light and media installations, their best-known projects include Flussbad Berlin, an urban development initiative for the ecological regeneration and utilisation of the Spree Canal in Berlin’s historic centre. The project divides the Spree Canal into three sections, each with its own different use, atmosphere and function: a river course in keeping with nature, a natural water filter and an area for swimming.
