Warsaw-Berlin-Workshop 2023: Villages in Berlin – relicts between past and future

Berlin is a city of villages - there are 62 former villages and 14 smaller rural settlements in Berlin, most of them outside the inner city within the S-Bahn ring. Many of these village cores are still recognizable in the urban structure and form special places within the urban fabric. Other former villages are, besides small relicts, not recognizable anymore, as they were swallowed by the growing city and became part of the highly urbanized city core.

Although the village centers are special historic places, many of them do not seem to be in the focus of planning considerations for a future development. So, the focus of this year's Berlin-Warsaw-Workshop is on village centers. Alt-Mariendorf in Tempelhof-Schöneberg and Alt-Friedrichsfelde in Lichtenberg were selected, both former villages cores have been heavily deformed.

The task of the urban design workshop is to deal with one of them to create ideas, concepts, and designs on different scales for the further development of the village centers. Guiding questions are: What functions and qualities do the village centers have today? What are starting points for a future development and what role do the relicts of the village past play in this? What measures can be implemented to improve the quality of living and recreation in village centers?

The urban design workshop is offered in cooperation with the Architecture Faculty of Politechnika Warszawska (PT Warszawska) and is organized as a student exchange between Berlin and Warsaw. Urban planning/urban design students from TU Berlin will work closely with architecture students from PT Warszawska. Attending the excursion to Warsaw and the intensive workshop weeks is a compulsory requirement of the studio project.

The studio project will be held in English. Three phases structure it: In the initial phase, we will look at Berlin and analyse issues related to the task for the urban design workshop. In the main part of the project, we will work in mixed design teams (architects, planners + urbanists) in Berlin and Warsaw and develop concepts and design proposals. In the final phase, we will summarise the results and compile them in a report.

Architectural Ethnography: Case Study House W.

Dozentin: Oxana Gourinovitch

Join us for an architectural ethnographic journey to the House W. near Potsdam. It’s main building was erected after WW2 by a stone mason who fled Berlin, and comprises the salvaged fragments of the ruined Berlin museums, governmental buildings of the Reich, and the discarded memorials from the neighbouring cemetery. For the last 60 years, it became the residence of an East-German ceramic artist — a multiple refugee himself, and, for more than a decade, a pariah of the GDR artist scene — who transformed it along his oscillating living circumstances.

The House W.’s has been informed by destruction, displacement, social exclusion, as well as personal resourcefulness and resilience, but also by available technologies, building regulations, by political coercion and permissiveness. Personal and material detritus became major resources for the synthesis of this fascinating built environment.

Our goal is to document the living environments of the House W., paying due attention to its entanglement with historical, political and social complexities, as well as biographic peripeties of its residents.

The participants are expected to attempt a graphic recording of the House W., which would do justice to the “thingly” nature of its buildings. To put it in the words of Latour and Yaneva, we are looking for an equivalent of Étienne-Jules Marey’s photographic gun* — to be tested on the House W.

For those ends, the participants are encouraged to apply the methods of “architectural ethnography” — and are invited to reflect upon its widely varying interpretations and fairly blurred boundaries.

Good drawing and graphic skills will be beneficial, but are not a requirement.

Neun Kilometer Durchgangsstraße – das bedeutet Verkehr, Lärm und Konkurrenz zwischen Verkehrsträgern, vielleicht aber auch Identität, Orientierung und Aufenthaltsqualität.

Die Meißner Straße erstreckt sich auf knapp neun Kilometern zwischen Coswig und Dresden durch die Mittelstadt Radebeul. Sie ist der meistfrequentierte öffentliche Raum Radebeuls und Dreh- und Angelpunkt des Master-Auftragsprojektes 

MORITZ-ZILLER-PREIS FÜR STADTGESTALTUNG | IDEENWETTBEWERB:

Im Rahmen des Auftragsprojektes werden in Kleingruppen Beiträge zur Einreichung beim Moritz-Ziller-Preis für Stadtgestaltung 2023 erarbeitet. Der studentische Ideenwettbewerb steht im Jahr 2023 unter der Überschrift „TOUR DE MEISSNER. Die Meißner Straße in Radebeul zwischen Durchgangsstraße und Lebenswelt“. Gesucht werden Visionen für die zukünftige Gestalt(ung) der Meißner Straße. Der heute vom Verkehr dominierte Stadtraum soll zukünftig Identität stiften, Orientierung geben, als Eingang Radebeuls funktionieren und attraktiver Aufenthalts- und Lebensraum für Bewohner:innen und Besucher:innen sein. Dabei sollen das Erscheinungsbild und die Funktionen der Meißner Straße gleichermaßen auf den Prüfstand gestellt und transformiert werden.

Die Auslobung des Wettbewerbs ist bereits veröffentlicht: https://www.radebeul.de/zillerpreis23.html. Sie stellt den Auftrag des Masterprojektes dar.

Wichtige Termine im Rahmen des Wettbewerbsverfahrens:

·       April 2023: Bereitstellung der Wettbewerbsunterlagen

Der Vor-Ort-Termin am 26.04.2023 ist Bestandteil der Lehrveranstaltung. Bitte planen Sie den Termin ein, wenn Sie das Projekt belegen möchten! Prinzipiell organisieren alle Studierenden den Vor-Ort-Besuch (Anreise, ggf. Übernachtung) individuell. Zur Rücksprache findet die erste Projektsitzung am Montag, den 24.04.2023 statt. 

PROJEKTARBEIT

Das Masterauftragsprojekt wird als Entwurfsarbeit durchgeführt. Entsprechend wird fast durchgehend in Kleingruppen gearbeitet. Die Abgabeleistung pro Kleingruppe ist ein Wettbewerbsbeitrag zum Moritz-Ziller-Preis 2023 und orientiert sich entsprechend an der Auslobung.

Gerahmt wird die Entwurfsarbeit in Kleingruppen, durch einen gemeinsamen Projektauftakt und -abschluss. Zu Semesterbeginn werden gemeinsam notwendige Grundlagen erarbeitet (z. B. in Form von Infografiken und Referaten). Zum Semesterabschluss werden übergeordnete Erkenntnisse der Entwurfsarbeit gemeinsam reflektiert und für den Projektbasar am ISR aufbereitet.

Die Veranstaltung richtet sich explizit an Studierende mit Entwurfserfahrung. Grundlagen des Entwerfens und der Plandarstellung sind nicht Inhalt des Projektes. Das Auftragsprojekt basiert auf einer hohen Selbstständigkeit der Studierenden.

TOUR DE MEISSNER. 

More than traffic – Designing a vital street as liveable public space.

Nine kilometres of road running through the middle of a town – that means traffic, noise and competition between modes of transport, but perhaps also identity, orientation and attractive public space.

The Meißner Straße stretches for almost nine kilometres between Coswig and Dresden through the medium-sized town of Radebeul. It is the busiest public space in Radebeul and the focal point of the Master-Auftragsprojekt.

MORITZ-ZILLER-PREIS FÜR STADTGESTALTUNG | DESIGN COMPETITION:

As part of the Master-Auftragsprojekt, small groups will develop submission for the Moritz-Ziller design competition 2023. The student competition in 2023 is entitled „TOUR DE MEISSNER. Die Meißner Straße in Radebeul zwischen Durchgangsstraße und Lebenswelt“. Visions for the future design of Meißner Straße are being sought. The urban space, which is currently dominated by traffic, should in future create identity, provide orientation, function as the entrance to Radebeul and be an attractive public space for residents and visitors. The appearance and functions of Meißner Straße are to be put to the test and transformed in equal measure.

The competition announcement has already been published: https://www.radebeul.de/zillerpreis23.html. It represents the brief of the Master-Auftragsprojekt.

Important dates:

·       April 2023: Provision of the competition documents

·       26.04.2023: Site visit and QnA

·       by 01 September 2023, 12.00 noon: Submission of the competition entries

·       04 October 2023: Prize jury meeting

The on-site visit on 26.04.2023 is part of the course. Please schedule the appointment if you would like to take the project! In principle, all students organise the on-site visit (travel, overnight stay if necessary) individually. For consultation purposes, the first project meeting will take place on Monday, 24.04.2023. 

PROJECT WORK

The Master-Auftragsprojekt is organised as a design studio. Accordingly, work will be carried out in small groups almost throughout. The submission per small group is a competition entry for the Moritz Ziller design competition 2023 and is oriented accordingly to the competition guidelines.

The design work in small groups is framed by a joint project kick-off and conclusion. At the beginning of the semester, the necessary basics are worked out together (e.g. in the form of infographics and presentations). At the end of the semester, overall findings from the design work are reflected on together and prepared for the project bazaar at ISR.

The course is explicitly aimed at students with design experience. The basics of design and plan presentation are not part of the project. The Master-Auftragsprojekt is based on a high degree of independence on the part of the students.

LANGUAGE

Students who have little or no knowledge of German are also welcome in the course. The lecturer offers consultations in either German or English. However, please note that the Moritz-Ziller design competition only accepts German-language competition entries and the competition documents are also not published in English.

EUROPAN 17 - BCN 

LIVING CITIES /2 – REIMAGINING ARCHITECTURES BY CARING FOR INHABITED MILIEUS

The aim is to explore the regenerative capacities of living milieus amidst new ecologies that attempt to overcome the opposition between nature and culture and anthropocentrism during times marked by natural disasters and a climate emergency.

How can we care for inhabited milieus?

The increasingly alarming nature of the different IPCC reports, most recently that of March 2022, and the COVID-19 pandemic with its planet-wide impact, have made the vulnerabilities of the living world and the metamorphoses of habitability even more starkly apparent. The very possibility of living is now in doubt for all, given the excessive consumption of natural resources by certain human groups to the detriment of the needs of the global population, exceeding what planet earth can replace.

Climate emergency, overexploitation, pollution, inequality and iniquity – all these ills, upheavals and disorientations demand actions of “care” that address the coexistence and interrelationship of all the elements of the living world, and thus mandate a radical shift in paradigm. Sensitivity, responsibility, creativity are aspects of care and of interest in other beings.

This demands an awareness of the affiliations and interactions at work in the situations put forward for the competition. For Europan 17, the contexts demand a radical change towards a more immersive approach to the conception and production of space, an approach founded in care for living milieus. A new paradigm is at work, prompting us to wonder how to reconcile things and beings at a time when the habitability of Planet Earth is in question. Local and translocal strategies are be associated both with issues of metabolism (new ways of managing flows of natural elements, materials and human beings with the aim of developing circular economy) and issues of fairness and solidarity (inclusivity of actors in processes) which were already partially operative in certain contexts in E16.

Reimagining architectures that are embodied in “visions” or “narratives” of the evolution of sites between present and future.

In response to these territorial challenges, it is more than necessary to create complex, global and dynamic spatial reconfigurations in damaged inhabited milieus in order to revitalise biological and human communities. The care-based approach will lead to a necessary interplay of innovative, dynamic and varied project processes:

• producing an active understanding of what is already in place (biological + socio-anthropological scales), a situational intelligence;
• on the basis of this immersion, repairing mistreated territories/spaces by subtraction and recreation;
• reinforcing, regenerating or creating qualities of hybridisation between nature and culture;
• linking the scale of strategic and dynamic reflection on territories (the large-scale structuring ecological challenges) with the scale of local spaces and their re-conception (everyday spaces and shared spaces);
• imagining/creating spaces today with a view to the connection between present and future and therefore their production and adaptability over time (sustainable development);
• tackling projects with a readiness for design and production processes that involve all actors with their diversity and their differing roles.

In order to achieve this complexity, the situations that will be chosen for the Europan 17 competition must be such that the projects submitted can activate in different contexts and at different scales:

• symbiotic links between the living world and the cultural world, vital relations between human and nonhuman beings;
• spatial synergies (actions conducted in concert between different elements, entities or stakeholders): these are types of natural and cultural re-liances at different scales between elements that have become fragmented as a result of the modernist development of milieus;
• natural and human temporalities (cycles and rhythms of the living world and the social world) in process-projects.

The STUDIO will work on the BARCELONA case:

The site includes the two dimensions of nature (natural elements) and culture (inhabited spaces) and combines two scales:

• the territorial and geographical scale of the “reflection site” (delimited with a red line and which raises the big issues around ecology, mobilities and must be taken into account by the competitors and where they can propose ideas of evolution...)
• and the proximity scale of the “project site” (delimited with a yellow line and which may range from a single building and its immediate environment to larger fragments where the architectural project links in with the wider territorial scale).

PROJECT / STUDIO WORK

The course is explicitly aimed at students with design experience (i.e. design-basics are NOT part of the course curriculum). Students will work in small groups which will have a high degree of independence. The groupwork is framed by a joint kick-off session, the excursion* and concluding presentation(s). At the beginning of the semester, the necessary basics are worked out together (e.g. in the form of infographics and presentations). At the end of the semester, overall findings of the design work are jointly reflected and prepared for the project bazaar at ISR (including a written report).

* In the week of May 8-12 th we will offer an excursion to Barcelona as part of the project/studio.

Warsaw-Berlin-Workshop 2023: Villages in Berlin – relicts between past and future

Berlin is a city of villages - there are 62 former villages and 14 smaller rural settlements in Berlin, most of them outside the inner city within the S-Bahn ring. Many of these village cores are still recognizable in the urban structure and form special places within the urban fabric. Other former villages are, besides small relicts, not recognizable anymore, as they were swallowed by the growing city and became part of the highly urbanized city core.

Although the village centers are special historic places, many of them do not seem to be in the focus of planning considerations for a future development. So, the focus of this year's Berlin-Warsaw-Workshop is on village centers. Alt-Mariendorf in Tempelhof-Schöneberg and Alt-Friedrichsfelde in Lichtenberg were selected, both former villages cores have been heavily deformed.

The task of the urban design workshop is to deal with one of them to create ideas, concepts, and designs on different scales for the further development of the village centers. Guiding questions are: What functions and qualities do the village centers have today? What are starting points for a future development and what role do the relicts of the village past play in this? What measures can be implemented to improve the quality of living and recreation in village centers?

The urban design workshop is offered in cooperation with the Architecture Faculty of Politechnika Warszawska (PT Warszawska) and is organized as a student exchange between Berlin and Warsaw. Urban planning/urban design students from TU Berlin will work closely with architecture students from PT Warszawska. Attending the excursion to Warsaw and the intensive workshop weeks is a compulsory requirement of the studio project.

The studio project will be held in English. Three phases structure it: In the initial phase, we will look at Berlin and analyse issues related to the task for the urban design workshop. In the main part of the project, we will work in mixed design teams (architects, planners + urbanists) in Berlin and Warsaw and develop concepts and design proposals. In the final phase, we will summarise the results and compile them in a report.
