An interdisciplinary kick off conference initiates a laboratory for architecture topics in greater Europe. The new architecture education model serves as an experimental field for the 8 partner universities: the international network Reiseuni_Lab, teachers of A.S.G., is represented by architects, town planners, artists, historians or political actors from Universities in Germany, Estonia, Israel, Portugal, Spain, Austria and Poland. The objective of the programme is to renew generalist architectural education in the context of European culture and to refocus on the role of the university as a place for visionary thinking and social responsibility.
Ten lectures will open the research fields and the discourse of the network: the didactical exchange of teaching concepts, presentation of workshop topics of A.S.G. and the practical exchange within the disciplines. Topics to discuss are the analysis, transformation and reorganization of the European city in 21. century and the special and heterogenious ideas, approaches, cultural contextes, design methods and tasks to develop the cities or regions.
The dialogue reflects current and urban questions, concerning design positions and measures to increase density, transform urban and building function and urban quarters, to be developed with respect to ecological sustainability. Multi-dimensional planning processes and participatory communication strategies are integral parts of the democratic european planning culture. The cities and regions involved have a rich, grown substance and heterogeneous architecture and town planning experience. On which ways the city in 21. century might be transformed, re-organized, consolidated or developed democratically, should be discussed in the conference.
