"How much More is Less" a 'Dessauer Gespräch' with Gernot Schulz

“We explore architectural space, the special space, the space conceived in three dimensions and experienced with all the senses. Spaces that delight people, that captivate them, and ideally touch them, make them pause and be amazed. Spaces where children instinctively clap their hands to enjoy the reverberation, spaces that invite us to be quiet. Rooms that tempt you to touch the walls. Rooms with light and shadows. Spaces that appear untouchable.” gernotschulzarchitektur.de

The lecture will be held in German and translated into English.

It starts at 6.30 p.m. in the Bauhaus Aula, Dessau.

Date: November 20th, 2024.
Time: 6.30 p.m.
Place: Lecture hall of the Bauhaus, Dessau.

Architects for Tempelhofer Feld Announces Online Assembly

A special invitation by our DIA Alumni and teacher, Jolene Lee.
Texts and images by Architects4THF

Berlin's largest and most cherished open space is at risk. Ten years ago, a citizen's referendum successfully overturned the city's plans to build on Tempelhofer Feld. Today, the city announced a new international idea competition with the intent to develop the field, undoing the previous democratic process.

In response, Architects4THF calls on all architects, landscape architects, and urban planners to spread the word: No new building on the field! Don't let an idea competition be used to destroy the park!

Join the first online assembly today, Tuesday, 19 November 2024, 18:00–19:00 as we hear from the 100% Tempelhofer Feld Initiative about the history of their 2014 referendum. We'll explore ways to defend Tempelhofer Feld and discuss our plans to develop the boldest answers to the question: How Not to Build?

Assembly Details:

Online Meeting Room: Opens 5 minutes before.

Recording Notice: The session will be recorded, but only the speakers will appear in the recording for those unable to attend.

Format: Inputs from the teams of Architects4THF and 100% Tempelhofer Feld. We encourage you to ask questions, discuss, and share your thoughts in the Zoom chat.

We look forward to sharing insights, hearing your thoughts, and working together to defend Tempelhofer Feld.

Mark your calendars for our second online assembly. We’ll dive deeper into strategies and ideas in the next session, happening on 3 December 2024, which coincides with the publication date of the query protocol of the idea competition.

Can’t make it? A recording of the first online assembly will be uploaded to the YouTube channel for you to watch later.

“Open Architectures” a 'Dessauer Gespräch' with Frank Schönert

Copyright

© Dessauer Gespräche

After studying architecture and biology in Berlin, Dessau, Münster and Karlsruhe, Frank Schönert worked as a project architect at Foster and Partners and as a Research Associate for Prof. Bettina Götz at the UdK Berlin. In 2005 he founded the architecture office Hütten & Paläste in Berlin with Nanni Grau. The field of work includes the planning and realization of experimental architectures for urban living and lifestyles. Their focus is on solutions for extreme or special locations and construction tasks. The projects are about creating active connections between the interior and surrounding exterior space. Buildings are understood as open systems that are in constant exchange with their physical and metaphysical surroundings. In their designs, the office strives for a targeted and minimal use of resources as well as a reduction to the essentials in terms of space, technology and construction. Robust architectures are created that can be used in the long term thanks to their openness.

The lecture will be held in German and translated into English.

It starts at 6.30 p.m. in the Bauhaus Aula, Dessau.

Date: November 13th, 2024.
Time: 6.30 p.m.
Place: Lecture hall of the Bauhaus, Dessau.

Concrete Design Competition 2024-2025 - UMBRUCH

PDF Copyright

© Informations Zentrum Beton

For the winter semester 2024/2025, the Informations Zentrum Beton (Concrete Information Centre) invites you to take part in the Concrete Design Competition (CDC) on the topic of UMBRUCH (radical change). Students from all disciplines can submit their ideas to the nationwide competition.

UMBRUCH describes a fundamental change or transformation in the societal, economic, political and social spheres of life.

Since concrete as a building material remains an indispensable component of construction, it is undergoing a radical change, an UMBRUCH, both in the way it is produced and in its application.

Building habits and traditional construction methods are being questioned and completely new and, above all, sustainable approaches are being pursued.

The task of the CDC is to make ideas and designs on this topic visible and to reinterpret concrete as a building material in an imaginative way.

The closing date for entries is 11 April 2025.

The works submitted will be judged by an independent, interdisciplinary jury.

The prizes include participation in an architecture trip, a prize of 3.000 € and a place on the jury for the 2026 international competition.

Further information on the competition as well as the competition and participation documents can be found at www.concretedesigncompetition.de

Collaborative mapping of inequal and rapid urbanization: tools and challenges, from Giza to Dakar

PDF Copyright

© Fairville

DATE: Thursday 14 November, 2.30pm (CET), online seminar

With: Ismaila Seye (UrbaSen / Dakar) and Ahmed Zaazaa (NSCE / Cairo)

Moderator: Agnès Deboulet (LAVUE / Université Paris 8 - CNRS)

The Fairville project team invites you to its second public seminar on the theme of collaborative mapping experiences. With the exponential speed of growth of cities, the rapid urban transition and the increasing pressures on environment, the detailed and updated mapping of urban space constitutes an important challenge. In that regard, territorial inequalities often result into unequal production of information on urban spaces, especially in precarious neighbourhoods.

In very different urban contexts, collaborative mapping experiments (associating technicians, geographers or architects and local communities) make it possible to provide key data in the face of a series of issues: flooding, environmental degradation, precarious urban infrastructure and participatory challenges. This seminar proposes to bring into dialogue original experiences of collaborative mapping, undertaken by members of two organizations of the FAIRVILLE Horizon Europe project : NSCE (Giza - Egypt) and UrbaSen (Dakar - Senegal) organizations.

NSCE is a consulting organization in the field of sustainable development, based in Cairo (Egypt) (https://nsce-inter.com)

Urbasen is a Senegalese association which brings together technicians and professionals around urban issues, working in collaboration with groups of residents in vulnerable urban areas. (https://urbasen.org)

The seminar will take place on Thursday 14 November at 2.30pm (CET), via zoom.

Participants wishing to attend must register via the link below:

The seminar will be held in English.

About the Fairville project and the Mutual learning seminar:

The Fairville project is an international and collaborative research project funded by Horizon Europe (EU’s funding programme for research and innovation), for the period 2023-2026. The project intends to address embedded urban inequalities and the challenge they raise to democracy in large cities and urban regions.

It will do so by supporting co-production and bottom-up collaboration, engaging citizens collectives in low-income neighbourhoods.

The project intends to use participatory action-research and the co-production of knowledge as strategies of spatial justice to address urban inequalities affecting cities, mainly in Europe, but also in Africa. The research project is based on eight Fairville labs, mostly linked to citizen-led initiatives run by local groups partnering the project, in eight European and African cities (Athens, Berlin, Brussels, Cairo, Calarasi, Dakar, London and Marseille).

As part of the Fairville project, the Mutual Learning Seminar is a regular meeting where researchers, associations, citizens and activists exchange ideas on their working methods and actions.

Re/production conditions of architecture - revisited

The 10th Forum Architectural Science of the Netzwerks Architekturwissenschaft e. V. will take place from 24-26 October 2024 in the auditorium of the Bauhaus building in Dessau.

The tenth event in this annual conference series will revisit the theme of the first forum - the social, technical and cultural conditions, dependencies and interactions of architectural production - in light of current discussions. The forums on architectural science aim to open up a multi-perspective view of fundamental questions of architecture and promote transdisciplinary exchange.

In three thematic areas - the dynamics of work, the promise of digitalisation and the expansion of care - questions about the production and reproduction conditions of architecture will be discussed from the perspective of practice and theoretical reflection on this practice, each from a different perspective. The event brings together more than 27 different voices from international students, researchers, teachers, practitioners and theorists in various formats such as lectures, visual statements, impulse statements and discussions.

Gernot Weckherlin (Dessau), Felix Greiner-Petter (Kiel), Sandra Meireis (Darmstadt), Klaus Platzgummer (London) and Ines Lüder (Hildesheim) are responsible for the conception and organisation of the event. The event is sponsored by the Sutor-Stiftung zur Förderung der Wissenschaft der Architektur und Technik, the Momus-Stiftung zur Förderung der Theorie der Architektur, the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation and the Anhalt University of Applied Sciences.

The programme is bilingual in German and English.

Participation in the event can be recognised as an advanced training event of the Brandenburg and Berlin Chambers of Architects.

Registration until 20.10.2024.
