Along the 4 weeks programme all SCUBBERS could meet and mingle with the local staff and residents coming from all over the world. ZKU has a very specific character determined by its location and a very hybrid and multifunctional use of the space ensured by permanent infrastructures, continuous programming, local and global cultural affiliations. ZK/U is a universe of its own, a model of cultural venue, that brings together local and global practices in a dialogue that sees a community center active for the neighborhood, alongside 13 studio apartments for world artists, communal spaces, semi public spaces for neighborhood and a variety of funky and interesting habitable structures that see different forms of use coming together, from within and outside of its space. In overall the whole conceptions of the space is carefully designed and developed along various spaces of negotiation: a communal kitchen for all the residents, a small hut self-built in the outside terrace area for the youngsters of the neighborhood, an accordion folding open building for other local crews and even a community garden. In general all threshold in between the inside and the outside of the building are an occasion to responsibilize both the permanent and temporary community of the place. It is not a case that ZKU is involved and mapped as a Campus for education within the independent cultural scene of Berlin, as it promotes informal pedagogies and support projects in which community and space become occasion and instrument for constant learning and to envision new ecologies to come.
