The crew at Berlin’s MADE filed a dispatch from Art Basel Miami Beach centered around the BMW Guggenheim Lab, a “mobile laboratory” traveling to nine cities across the world over six years. In a video interview with Maria Nicanor, the curator for the Berlin Lab describes the project as a combination community center, think tank and gathering space, all developed to explore how we live in cities — not just the infrastructure of cities, but the people who live there and how improvements can be made in urban living. After a successful run in New York City, the BMW Guggenheim Lab is set to open in Berlin in spring 2012, followed by Mumbai. Check out the video after the click.
