On June 18th, the second mid-term presentation of the urban design studio "Context" in Heilbronn took place. The students displayed their conceptual approaches, discussed the suggested goals, and presented their first design ideas. We are grateful to our guest reviewer, landscape architect Jan Dieterle, for his valuable critiques and are looking forward to seeing the studio's final results.

We want to establish a new series of inter disciplinary discussions about how we teach, learn, design, acknowledge, and live in the ever-changing urban landscape. The format is an open invitation for everyone wishing to discuss the city. At changing intervals, discussions will occur where each talk sets the theme for the following. The first session will be held on Tuesday, the 12th of December, in room 107 at building number 11.40 (ISTB offices).-->

The students of this semester's Design Studio are currently working in teams together with students from Odessa and Tbilisi on a 5-Day workshop at Ilia State University in Tbilisi. Besides visiting the design site they are meeting local professionals to hear from their unique perspective and are now challenged to develop concepts for a possible future development of a soviet modernist neighborhood.-->

The student projects from the BA 4th semester will be exhibited on Rathausplatz in Lahr from 10.11. to 26.11.2023. The task for the students was to develop proposals for the transformation of three areas that fit into the context and create a variety of uses and urban density. How can buildings be responsibly converted, repurposed and redensified? What opportunities for mixing uses are conceivable and appropriate? The results demonstrate experimental design approaches with new programmatic and typological perspectives.-->

The courses for the upcoming semesters are online as of today. Here you can view the scheduled events and find the link to the corresponding Ilias course content.

The master students currently enrolled in our urban studio presented their current work's status in the second mid term presentation. The evaluation of the analysis and excursion to Tel Aviv resulted in various approximations of the heterotopian urban landscape of the planning area which in turn led to different strategic approaches and conceptual ideas. As part of our productive cooperation with the city, we were joined via zoom by architects Avia Ben-Yakar and Alon Matos, head planning coordinators in the urban planning department of Tel Aviv-Yafo, who provided the students with additional professional feedback and valuable insights for the design steps ahead.

The next milestone was reached in the studio: the 2nd pin-up was successfully completed by the students. Between conclusions of the analysis and creative solutions for the urban transformations in Lahr, different approaches were chosen. Many thanks to Wolfgang Borgards from K9 Architekten in Freiburg for his support as guest critic. We are looking forward to the further elaboration of the projects!

We want to change the world. Roughly speaking.

During the seminar week, we reflected together: How can we actually change the world? By dreaming and courageously thinking ahead, we can sketch utopias as well as dystopias. We can also get involved in political debates, get loud, demonstrate and make ourselves heard, get involved in existing initiatives or create - there are numerous possibilities. The results the students came up with can be found here ...

As part of our cooperative urban design studio "Manshiya-Heterotopias", students from the Chair for International Urban Planning and the Institute for Transport Studies are taking part in an eight days excursion to Tel Aviv, Israel. Besides exploring the design site, we meet local urban and mobility planners, architects, urban activists, and NGO representatives. Amongst others, we discussed current urban renewal projects in the city with local players, like the recent opening of the first light train line in the city, and the gentrification of slums neighborhoods. We are gathering first-hand information and formulating an overview of the planning complexity that can be sensed currently in almost every corner of this multifaceted city on the Mediterranean shore.

The book "Large Housing Estates under Socialism" by Barbara Engel and Nikolas Rogge is now available via open access. Harnessing large urban housing estates in former socialist countries as a resource for the future housing supply requires innovative and practicable strategies and concepts. The contributors present experiences and perspectives from different disciplines on sustainable development of mass housing districts, both in academia and practice.

Our Stegreif in the summer semester: City concepting in 3 minutes

Convincing designs do not need long explanations, but can be explained briefly and concisely in sketch form and in just a few words. You have exactly 5 index cards and 3 minutes to convince the members of the planning committee.

We congratulate Frederik Johann on a very successful master's degree! His thesis "City and Water - Concepts for a Resilient Neighborhood in Paris" addresses the highly relevant issue of increasing heavy rainfall events and their consequences for sealed urban spaces. He has analyzed flood protection concepts in various cities and, based on this, developed solutions for water-resilient neighborhoods. In Ivry-sur-Seine he finds a very subtle, natural-looking way of dealing with the existing buildings. There are innovative symbioses of different uses and unexpected experiences of special landscapes. The work is not only a valuable contribution to building on the water and with the water, but also to continue to build, to sensibly rebuild, and supplement existing neighborhoods - a contribution to sustainable urban development that is not only water-resistant but also armed against other crises.

An online event with further information regarding the planned excursion to Tel Aviv will be held today, Tuesday, April 11th, at 6:00 PM. All interested are invited to join.

Looking forward to seeing you!

The second Remote Lab of Urban Planning, funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), has started. Based on the successful cooperation in 2022, new collaborative teaching activities will take place in 2023. Thematic focus is the built heritage. The offered courses include a series of lectures, the seminar "Metropol.x_Lyiv" and a design class. On March 3rd, Prof. Dr. Halyna Petryshyn, head of the Department of Urban Planning at Lviv Polytechnic National University, joined the seminar with a guest lecture about the historical evolution, current urban-planning situation, and perspectives for the further development of Lviv city.

International Symposium & Workshop, Feb. 22nd-24th, 2023

The Russian war of aggression against Ukraine affects interdisciplinary post-Soviet and post-socialist/Eastern European urban research. As an international academic community researching in this context, we have perceived these events as highly critical, which urged us to initiate a platform for identifying short- and medium-term research perspectives and exploring new possibilities for research dialogue with colleagues from the post-Soviet and post-socialist/Eastern European space. The symposium supported by the Volkswagen Foundation, aims to offer a constructive and open atmosphere to reflect on and systematize the consequences of the current developments for interdisciplinary urban research related to Eastern Europe.

Tel Avis's development presents a multifaceted story: This booklet examines the different urban layers of the city and the way they reflect the social, cultural, and economic structure of Israeli society in one of the most expensive cities to live in.
