DRIFT, Fitzcarraldo II, Making the Impossible Possible - the undertaking of the MacIver-Ek Chevroulet group took many names. Das Beckwerk building was raised for the Funus Imaginarium of Claus Beck-Nielsen in 2010. It was renamed as BWERK when it was adopted by the architecture school to be used as an exhibition space. As the school of architecture moves out of the iconic Seaplane Hangar H53, the BWERK building was to be left behind with it. In the spirit of rebirth and reuse, the MacIver-Ek Chevroulet team took upon themselves the challenge to move the building to the new location of the architecture school, 700m away at the KADK campus.

The workshop began by entering the space without the key. After creating a new opening, an installation marked the beginning of the move. After days of cutting neat slices, the pieces willing to budge were slid out. The corner moved by road on scaffolding wheels. A section of the curved wall was attached to empty beer kegs, and floated over by water. Madame Nielsen opened and closed the moving procession with statements, and accompanied the pieces in their journey to their new configuration.
