About


The Bodenlabor Kalk is an open, collaborative living lab bringing together residents of Köln-Kalk to care for neglected soil at a former factory and learn about soil ecosystems. 

Through public weekly work days, work parties, and a series of workshops led by soil experts, we will rehabilitate a plot of contaminated soil in the Viertel, learn about soil together, and build community.

The Bodenlabor Kalk is being implemented as a part of a master’s thesis in Integrated Design Research at the KISD @ TH Köln.
