In May 2014, Raumlabor invited all creative geniuses, students of architecture and professionals to a competition in search of a commission to build the hotel room of their dreams. Made from the city of Mannheim’s trash, 22 single hotelcabins with ‚individual comfort‘ were created by 120 people from France, Belgium, Switzerland, Portugal, Poland, England, Austria and Germany in the purposebuilt construction camp next to the National Theater of Mannheim. From this central hub- the open workshop and camp area- the construction teams spread out into the city, where each group set up and installed one hotelcabin in a selected location around Mannheim: in parks, next to statues, along the banks of the Rhine and the Neckar, on the site of former US barracks and on the roofs of houses. From May 22nd to June 8th (the entire length of the festival “Theater der Welt 2014”) the hotelcabins could be rented for one night by anybody, who has always dreamt of spending “Ferien in Mannheim”.
