Get matched →The Office for Art in Public Space (Büro für Kunst im öffentlichen Raum) manages art competitions for publicly funded construction projects in Berlin. For all public buildings, roads, plazas, and parks—such as schools, kindergartens, administrative buildings, and other construction projects—1 to 2 percent of the construction budget is allocated to art, as defined in the Construction Directive (ABau).
Decision-making bodies consist of an odd number of members with parity in representation. Members must have relevant expertise, including visual artists, representatives of the commissioning body and end-users, architects, representatives of the professional public, and relevant administrators. Art experts should be in the majority.
