Architektur Biennale Rotterdam
Diskussion
Based on the results of design studios, interviews and research of the last two years, the chair for Urban Planning and Design of the University of Stuttgart presents a trend book on current urban issues as base for a two day design workshop at the IABR–2016. Designers from different disciplines are welcome to participate and to continue to build on this research with designing on a specific site in Rotterdam.
The concept of the trendbook goes beyond a collection of materials. It will be used as a first communication tool that is tested with our peers during the IABR–2016. It includes the main outcomes of all the meetings, table sessions and students´ proposals of recent design studios in various European Cities. It serves as both, an inspiring work-in-progress collage to question urban conditions as well as a scientific abstract on recent transformation processes our cities face these decades. It points a finger on the challenges of demography, migration, energy and circular flow economy.
Our key research question for the urban condition will be: How can we propose a dynamic stable urban fabric that allows for void and congestion?
