The lecture teaches the basics of urban development and urban planning as well as the basic principles of urban appearance. Methods of critical observation, presentation and interpretation of urban situations are taught. Only knowledge of the building typologies, open spaces and distribution of use of a location enables meaningful selective or large-scale intervention. The course provides the necessary content-related and theoretical foundations for design work in the "Studio Kontext". It provides an overview of the repertoire of urban planning, presents methods of reading and analyzing urban planning phenomena and contexts as well as principles of urban planning design.

The first milestone was reached in the studio: the 1st pin-up was successfully completed by the students. The problems and opportunities of the areas were analyzed and the first creative approaches for the districts were presented. We look forward to working on the projects!

Daegu, the fourth largest metropolis in South Korea, offers a mosaic of traditional neighborhoods and modern high-rise buildings, old industrial areas and gleaming business parks. In this field of tension between old and new, between tradition and progress, forward-looking development strategies are to be conceived for an area located near the main railway station.
The design is part of a student competition organized by the city of Daegu. The subject of the design studio is a 10-day excursion with workshop to Daegu from August 5 to 18. Travel and accommodation costs will be covered by KIT and the city of Daegu.

In preparation for the design discussion, we will deal with the multi-layered facets of the city of Daegu in order to better understand the spatial and socio-cultural context. Through guest lectures and our own research, we will explore the various levels of the metropolis. This includes the historical and demographic development, economic and political framework conditions, cultural characteristics, traditions and lifestyles, but also aspects of spatial design and planning, i.e. infrastructure, architectural styles and housing typologies, public and green spaces and the plans for the future of Daegu.

By taking up large areas for moving and parking vehicles and by encroaching on public spaces and misappropriating them, private car traffic has a major impact on the quality of life in cities. At the same time, changes in mobility behavior and new forms of mobility open up opportunities for upgrading public spaces in the neighborhood. Based on the findings of the previous seminar, which formulated goals for the redesign of traffic areas for selected locations in Karlsruhe's Oststadt district, the ideas are now to be further specified and temporarily implemented.
The seminar is being held in cooperation with ITAS, ZAK, Werkstadt Mobilität and the Karlsruhe Urban Planning Office.

The date for the issue of the task is postponed to 23.05.2022 at 16:00 via Zoom. The previous location and the date on 24.05.2022 are therefore no longer valid for the issue! Click here to go directly to the meeting (Meeting ID: 673 4129 3324 / identification code: 238198)

In Russia and other post-Soviet countries, the historical heritage is threatened by transformation and demolition. This applies in particular to historic residential districts.
At least three residential building epochs are historically noteworthy, formative for urban space and everyday life and at the same time endangered in their material and socio-cultural substance:
Ensembles from the Tsarist era, the avant-garde and late modernism. Embedded in the
joint research project between KIT, RWTH Aachen University and GWZO Leipzig, the seminar will examine transformation processes in selected neighborhoods - as a basis for the development of new discourses and strategies for the sustainable further development of the architectural heritage.
of the architectural heritage.

A city consists "of [the] relationships between its spatial distances and the events of its past". The memories that make up the history of a city offer us a spatial connection with places that for the most part no longer exist. A city contains its past "like the lines of a hand, written in the edges of the streets, the bars of the windows, the balustrades of the banisters" (I. Calvino, The Invisible Cities). In the seminar we will draw a picture of Karlsruhe's memory. With a focus on the open spaces and public facilities, we will discuss the presence of memory in the urban context and reflect on the relationship between the visible and the invisible.

The practice-oriented treatment of the building and architectural contract with VOB and HOAI as well as entrepreneurial forms of activity in the practice of the architectural profession, copyright law, professional liability insurance, architectural competition, etc. are discussed.

In addition to an introduction to regional and state planning, the main focus is on general urban planning law in Germany. This includes urban land-use planning (land-use plan, development plan) and its safeguarding as well as the other structural use of land. The second focus of the lecture is on the regulations of the BW state building code.

The lecture teaches the basics of urban development, urban and landscape planning. Methods of perception, critical observation, representation and interpretation of urban situations are taught. The course provides the necessary content-related and theoretical foundations for design work in the "Studio Kontext". Design-relevant topics are discussed and analyzed using concrete examples and applied in the form of small exercises.

In accordance with the Athens Charter, our cities in the 20th century were strongly characterized by a separation of functions and densification, with a dominance of motorized private transport and high energy consumption. This does not correspond to our current goals of a mixed-use and climate-friendly city. In addition, the Covid-19 pandemic and climate change are radically changing the way we live. What conclusions can we draw from these changes for our urban structure? In the studio context, forward-looking ideas and alternative models for living in new communities are to be developed using urban planning concepts.

Knowledge and education are becoming increasingly important in our society. They are regarded as the new production factors of the economy and drivers of future urban development. But what exactly does this mean for urban spaces? What do new learning spaces or meeting places look like in which innovation is lived and knowledge is generated? Which processes and logics are responsible for planning and design? The seminar will analyze the design and functioning of exemplary European places of knowledge and reflect on their objectives and implementation in discussions with actors and initiators.

The relationship between the body and urban space has been the subject of many city portraits since the end of the 14th century. The depiction of public urban life is at the center of the artistic statement. The seminar aims to discuss the collective emotions in urban space and the images of different urban atmospheres: How do we reflect on such urban scenes today? How do we understand the relationship between art and urban space? We will analyze images together and discuss and interpret the representation of urban space in art.

Over a period of three weeks, students of higher semesters and young graduates from the disciplines of urban development / urban planning, architecture, urban economics, landscape and transport planning will deal with current problems of urban development in the Siberian city.
The topic of the workshop in 2021 will be large housing estates from the 1960s and 1970s. The results, evaluated by a jury consisting of local planning officers and international experts and discussed with the public, will then be incorporated into the city's official planning documents.

Daegu, a city more than 2500 years old with a population of 2.5 million, is now the fourth largest city in South Korea. Like many other metropolitan areas, Daegu has a great need for affordable housing. A former government campus, an industrial area and an informal settlement offer great resources for the further development of the city. Daegu is looking for innovative and sustainable solutions and is organizing an international workshop for students. The task of the design studio is to develop urban planning concepts for a future-oriented residential district, with a focus on new forms of mobility, traffic concepts and local recreation areas.

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.

In Beirut, determined more strongly than usual by external parameters. Topography, limits the expansion of the city, the after-effects of the war on the architectural heritage are unmistakable, growth pressure and economic interests affect the historical buildings.

The various urban building blocks of the city bear witness to the diversity of the city, but also to the segregation of soci- ety: Villas in the mountains, con- ference and hotel complexes on the coastline, Italian Renaissance style building in the city center stand beside the 1960's ar- chitecture and slums.

Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, has spectacular nature, rich religious legacy and vibrant culture. It also faces series of problems: lack of public infra- structure, privatization of public space, corrupt politics, or the refugee crisis. We will observe, map, critically evaluate and visualize these various layers.

Whether it is a lack of living space, an explosion in rents, luxury housing, gentrification or overloaded traffic areas, many of the current issues of urban development are causally linked to land as a central resource.

Hardly any other type of housing estate has been transformed more in the last 30 years than the large East German housing estate! In this seminar, we want to examine how the shrinking process was controlled and planned, which spatial strategies were used and which can be classified as successful.

During a three-week long work- store 30 young professionals - architects, urban planners, urban economist, traffic en- gineers, landscape designers and artists - from all around the world will work in mixed teams. Topic of the session in 2020 is the transformation of prefabricated settlements in Irkutsk / Russia.

Developing concise ideas and clear concepts are the basis for successful design work in architecture and urban planning. The impromptu course is intended to train conceptual design work.
