If we tollerate this, will our children then be next? The Teepees of Today. Protesters against Stuttgart 21

Evacuation of the Park "Schlossgarten" is done. DB starts to cut down hundreds of trees.

Marketed as a "wonderful, modern advancement" it would replace the present main train station in Stuttgart (Germany) with an underground station and redirect the traffic through long tunnels. What it has brought till now is endless conflict in the southwestern state of Baden-Württemberg and its capital city Stuttgart. The German Railroad system (Deutsche Bahn or DB) with the backing of various politicians and property developers is trying to push this disastrous project through despite a long-running opposition from concerned citizens.

The building of the 'stuttgart 21' has commenced . A train station which is predicted to have the largest construction site in europe has a new residential area growing. 
A project created by the urban resistance has since then been growing, with demonstrators setting up camp on location to prevent progress.


The new urban districts were captured by german photography studio frank bayh & steff rosenberger-ochs in a series entitled 'the development of new urban quarters in the heart of the city'. A small but powerful image of an urban archtectural expression.


The images showcase make-shift homes occupied by the protesters that have added to the city a colorful
and organic mixture of materials including tarps, umbrellas, sticks and blankets, all compiled into the metropolitan dwellings or todays teepee houses.
The personalized, custom made teepees showcase a different type of architectural expression springing from necessity into accidental and eclectic structures.


A glimpse of the future?.......... How much will we tollerate?......... What should we tollerate? Q & A unknown
