    Announcement, architecture

    Im Umgang mit polyzentrischen Stadtregionen, klein- und großmaßstäblichen Polarisierungsprozessen oder informellen urbanen Entwicklungen werden vorherrschende Denkmodelle und Planungsinstrumente zunehmend in Frage gestellt. Um andere Wege in der Untersuchung und Gestaltung des Gegenstands Stadt zu gehen, bedarf es in Lehre, Forschung und Praxis des Urban Design programmatischer Perspektivwechsel und einer Überwindung disziplinärer Grenzen.

    Das nicht-konsekutive Master of Science Programm Urban Design widmet sich der Untersuchung zeitgenössischer urbaner Beziehungsgefüge, um daraus zukunftsfähige Gestaltungsansätze zu entwickeln und in der gebauten Umwelt zu implementieren. Disziplinübergreifend angelegt, vermittelt der viersemestrige Masterstudiengang Methoden und Werkzeuge für eine Forschungs- und Gestaltungspraxis, die ihren Schwerpunkt auf konzeptionelle Arbeitsweisen, intensive Analysen, experimentelle Interventionsformate und prozessorientierte Planungsstrategien setzt.

    Das Studienprogramm richtet sich an Theoretikerinnen und Theoretiker sowie Praktikerinnen und Praktiker, die sich für eine Weiterqualifizierung im Bereich der angewandten Stadtforschung und der Gestaltung städtischer Umwelt interessieren.

    Weitere Informationen zum Master of Science Programm Urban Design, zu den Personen und den Zugangsvoraussetzungen gibt es auf der Homepage der HafenCity Universität. Bewerbungsschluss: 15. Juli 2009

    Engineer’s Design

    Stupid Design, architecture

    When technical appliances get too complicated in usage, the problem could be that engineers took the lead in the design process rather than people that think of the user – like e.g. designers. A good example is this light swith that I found in the famous “Schürmann-Bau” in Bonn/Germany.

    The switch indicates the electro-technical status rather than guiding the user.

    Complicated enough that this switch has two buttons – one for “EIN” (on), the other for “AUS” (off), it contains more strange behaviours. The green LED for example is lit when you enter the dark room – guess which button you will probably press? Only getting involved a bit deeper with the switch you might see that the LED does not want to guide you to the right button that lightens the dark room – no, it is meant to display the technical status of the light: “I am off”.

    Even if this sounds like techno-storytelling, one could say that in the end it contains a certain logic in matters of physical aspects. But guess what happens if you once found out how to switch the light on:

    Does this make sense?

    It becomes even more complicated. The green light on the right side is still alight and two more red lights on both sides appear. Only an engineer probably knows what this wants to tell us… . A good example for what a good design should care for.

    Anyhow – if you want to know why exactly this switch and no other was used – just contact Joachim Schürmann Architekten, the responsible architect for the building.

    Swimming on the highway

    Comment, Report, Visions, architecture

    Düsburg-Beach from above: a highway cutting a huge swimming pool in twoFrom Studio Düsburg, a studio for experimental architecture, comes an interesting architecture project that deals with the re-intergration and transformation of former industrial areas into modern lifestyle and culture.

    The “Autobahn 59″ is a highway built in the sixties and connects parts of the Rhein-Ruhr-Area in North-South direction. Even today it is a construction of high technical standard, because a lot of parts of the highway are bridges. Near to the exit Duisburg-Marxloh there used to be a railroad bridge. When the railroad track went out of use they reconstructed Continue Reading »
