Today's date is canceled, further information will follow.

This semester, we are looking at district developments in ports in the master's studio and in-depth study. The example of Mannheim will be used to examine questions about living, working and producing (in ports). The Ba4 Studio focuses on the small town of Neuchâtel on the German-French border. We are also offering a seminar on "new" places of exchange in our knowledge society.

The current transformation of former port areas into new urban districts, such as the Hafencity in Hamburg, the Medienhafen in Düsseldorf or the Eastern Harbour in Amsterdam, demonstrate an urban paradigm that will be examined in more detail as part of the in-depth study.

The analysis will focus on the most important urban development challenges facing many port cities in the 21st century.

Knowledge and education are becoming increasingly important in our society. But what exactly does this mean for urban spaces? What will new spaces look like in the future where innovation is lived and knowledge is generated?

The seminar will examine the different typologies of knowledge spaces in selected European cities.

The city of Daegu is looking for innovative urban design solutions and is therefore organizing an international summer school for students.

The best results will be presented to the public at an exhibition in Korea in November. The task is to develop a future oriented residential quarter - focus will be new forms of mobility and traffic concepts as well as the avail-ability areas and accessibility of relaxation and recreation area.

The lecture teaches the basics of urban development, urban planning and landscape planning. Methods of perception, critical observation, representation and interpretation of urban situations are taught, which are deepened in the accompanying exercises. The course provides the necessary content-related and theoretical foundations for design work in the "studio context".

An urban design for a sustainable residential quarter is to be developed for the approx. 25-hectare planning area in Neuenburg am Rhein, located between Freiburg (D), Basel (CH) and Mulhouse (F). As part of a student competition, ideas are to be developed to meet the growing demand for living space.
