‚URBAN LIVING‘ Y-Table Talks at the DAZ

Redaktion AA Projects — Thu, 02 Jul 2015 16:16:48 +0000

Concept for the Program accompanying the URBAN LIVING exhibition / Moderation of the discussions:

15.06.15, 7pm Y-Table Talk #1: Affordable Housing? (Bezahlbares Wohnen?) Which strategies enable affordable living? What are acceptable minimal standards and what can we do without? Rather self-build or a fully finished flat? How can new floor plan and circulation configurations help? A discussion with Berlin housing associations and architects from the URBAN LIVING workshop as well as SELF-MADE CITY projects. The discussion was held in German. Greeting: Matthias Böttger, curator DAZ, Dirk Böttcher, Senate Department for Urban Development and the Environment Keynote: Joachim Schultz-Granberg, münster school of architecture / Städtebau + Architektur Berlin Moderation By: Kristien Ring, AA PROJECTS – curator of the Urban Living exhibition Impulse lectures by architects of the URBAN LIVING-Workshop an the built SELF-MADE CITY projects: Martina Bauer, Barkow Leibinger; Jesko Fezer and Christoph Schmidt, Ifau and Jesko Fezer; Christian Schöningh, Die Zusammenarbeiter; Georg Poduschka, PPAG Further experts at the Y-Table: Carolin Franke, Talli + Architekturbüro R.

22.06.2015, 7pm Y-Table Talk #2: New Forms of Living? (Wie Wohnen Wir Wohnen?) Do communal spaces have a future? What is the housing associations’ position towards new forms of living? What is the connection of living concepts with new forms of mobility? Extreme or radical forms of living are often ignored in new building projects. However, those are the forms of living that have the potential for both cost-saving and future developments. URBAN LIVING projects as well as best practice SELF MADE CITY projects reinterpret the connections between living units, develop special forms of living and ask themselves a couple of questions: by bike to the door? Working spaces directly in the flat or next to it? A guest house or a party space in the house? Ready to move in or self-built? A higher standard or a lower standard with a lower rent?

urban design and living spaces created in self-initiative

Berlin is thought of as the city of Urban Pioneers, a place where everything is possible and where space can be taken over and transformed. -Voids and unused spaces waiting to be occupied, old buildings engaged with new program. The self-determined design of space, building, living and working, be it in the form of builder collectives (Baugruppen), co-op’s (Genossenschaften), co-working spaces or other project forms, has produced an architectural diversity and quality in Berlin over the last fifteen years that is exemplary. In the lecture „SELFMADE CITY BERLIN“ Kristien Ring will talk about the condition in Berlin, present best-practice case studies and talk about which qualities and potentials these projects have for city planning.
