Schwindende Dialogfähigkeit prägt das politische Klima unserer Gegenwart in einem Maß, dass demokratische Praktiken zunehmend unter Druck geraten. Um dem Trend zum Ruckzug ins Selbstbestätigungsmilieu entgegenzuwirken, bedarf es neuer Räume, deren Atmosphären Debatten nicht nur dulden, sondern stimulieren und kultivieren. Studierende der Hochschule RheinMain haben deshalb Salons fur zentrale Orte in Berlin und Frankfurt/Main entworfen, die Lust auf Demokratie machen. Die Entwürfe werden im Sommer 2021 im Deutschen Architekturmuseum ausgestellt. Das Buch ergänzt die Präsentation der Entwürfe um fünf Essays namhafter Autor*innen und einen Comic, der einen Tag in den Salons der Republik lebendig werden lässt.

The political climate of our time is being shaped by a dwindling ability to engage in public dialogue, putting democratic practices under increasing pressure. In order to counter the trend towards retreating into the realm of self-affirmation, we need new spaces in which public debate is not only tolerated but stimulated. With this in mind, students at RheinMain University of Applied Sciences designed centrally located salons in Berlin and Frankfurt/Main that could inspire interest in democratic engagement. In summer 2021, the German Architecture Museum will exhibit these designs. This book complements the exhibit with five essays by well-known authors, as well as a comic strip depicting a day in the life of the Salons of the Republic.
