Die Professur
Am Lehr- und Forschungsgebiet Urbanismus und Entwerfen denken und aktivieren wir Räume – spekulativ und spontan, in der Stadt und auf dem Land, gemeinsam mit anderen, gerne vor Ort und immer vor dem Spiegel einer unbestimmten Zukunft.
Chair of Urbanism and Design
The essence of a city lies in its constant transformation; by the people who build it and live in it, by social and technological change processes and by the impacts of local and global markets. Architects and urban planners play a fundamental role in effecting this transformation. They design spatial structures that can react accordingly to changes and simultaneously develop strategies for participating and co-producing these spaces.
The teaching and research area Urbanism and Design focuses on urban transformation processes in cities and regions. Parallel to the urban planning-related and architectural discourse, strategies for planning and developing cities and integrating stakeholders and users into the planning process are researched and disseminated. A cross-benchmark and interdisciplinary understanding of urban environments, urbanity and planning processes is the basis for this.
Focal points of this research include the “digital city” as a further development of the
technology-centric “smart city” and the communal production and co-creation of cities and spaces.
