The Berlin “Brachen” are unique urban spaces that grew out of the post-war debris, economic hardship and geopolitical division. These ostentatiously empty spaces turned into laboratories for botanists, artists as well as common people searching for peace and quiet in the city hustle. Natura Urbana explores the quickly disappearing urban wilderness together with its spontaneously diverse flora that sheds light on the complex history of the German capital. (Film a Architektura)
