POP KUDAMM is a temporary cultural space in Berlin's City West: In exhibitions, performances, pop-ups and a wide variety of events, POP KUDAMM addresses current issues of urban life and stimulates public discourse.
The ensemble of 35 containers was designed by GRAFT, who together with the experience of PLATOON cultural development were responsible for the architectural development.
POP KUDAMM was initiated by Signa Real Estate in cooperation with TU Berlin and UDK Berlin.

Created as a place of participation, POP KUDAMM and its partners from art, culture, science and architecture offer a creative space to bring people and ideas together. To ensure a varied program, POP KUDAMM works with selected curators and guest curators. For the arts and culture, these are: Christoph Frank of PLATOON cultural development; for architecture and urban development, Nadin Heinich, plan A; and for science and research, Dr.-Ing. Anja Steglich, Technische Universität Berlin, and Professor Albert Lang, Universität der Künste.
