052-0707-00L	Urban Design III	2 KP	2V	H. Klumpner, M. Fessel
Kurzbeschreibung	Students are introduced to a narrative of 'Urban Stories' through a series of three tools driven by social, governance, and environmental transformations in today's urbanization processes. Each lecture explores one city's spatial and organizational ingenuity born out of the realities of a particular place, allowing students to transfer these inventions into a catalog of conceptual tools.
Lernziel	How can students of architecture become active agents of change, what does it take to go beyond the scale of a building making design relevant decisions to the city rather than to a single client? How can we design in cities with lack of land, tax base, risk, and resilience, understanding that Zurich is the exception and these other cities are the rule? How can we discover, set rather than follow trends and understand existing urban phenomena activating them in a design process? The lecture series is producing a growing catalog of operational urban tools across the globe, considering Governance, Social, and Environmental realities. Instead of limited binary comparing of cities, we are building a catalog of change, analyzing what design solutions cities have been developing informally incrementally over time, why, and how. We look at the people, institutions, culture behind the design, and make concepts behind these tools visible. Students get first-hand information from cities where the chair as a Team has researched, worked, or constructed projects over the last year, allowing competent, practical insight about the people and topics that make these places unique. Students will be able to use and expand an alternative repertoire of experiences and evidence-based design tools, go to the conceptual core of them and understand how and to what extent they can be relevant in other places. Urban Stories is the basic practice of architecture and urban design. It introduces a repertoire of urban design instruments to the students to use, test, and start their designs.
Inhalt	Urban form cannot be reduced to physical space. Cities are the result of social construction, under the influence of technologies, ecology, culture, the impact of experts and accidents. Urban un-concluded processes respond to political interests, economic pressure, cultural inclinations, along with the imagination of architects and urbanists and the informal powers at work in complex adaptive systems. Current urban phenomena are the result of urban evolution. The facts stored in urban environments include contributions from its entire lifecycle, visible in the physical environment, but also for non-physical aspects. This imaginary city exists along with its potentials and problems and with the conflicts that have evolved. Knowledge and understanding, along with a critical observation of the actions and policies are necessary to understand the diversity and instability present in the contemporary city and to understand how urban form evolved to its current state. How did cities develop into the cities we live in now? Which urban plans, instruments, visions, political decisions, economic reasonings, cultural inputs, and social organization have been used to operate in urban settlements in specific moments of change? We have chosen cities that are exemplary in illustrating how these instruments have been implemented and how they have shaped urban environments. We transcribe these instruments into urban operational tools that we have recognized and collected within existing tested cases in contemporary cities across the globe. This lecture series will introduce urban knowledge and the way it has introduced urban models and operational modes within different concrete realities, therefore shaping cities. Urban knowledge will be translated into operational tools, extracted from cities where they have been tested and become exemplary samples, most relevant for providing the understanding of how urban landscape has taken shape. The tools are clustered in twelve thematic clusters and three tool scales for better comparability and cross-reflection. The Tool case studies are compiled into a global urbanization toolbox, which we use as typological models to read the city and to reflect upon it critically. The presented contents are meant to serve as inspiration for positioning in future professional life as well as to provide instruments for future design decisions. In an interview with a local designer, we measure our insights against the most pressing design topics in cities today, including inclusion, affordable housing, provision of public spaces, and infrastructure for all.

052-0725-20L	ACTION! On the Real City: 4D Urban Flux, 24 Frames Per Second	2 KP	2U	H. Klumpner, C. E. Papanicolaou
Kurzbeschreibung	'If photography is truth, cinema is truth 24 frames per second', the words of Jean-Luc Godard guide us we disentangle the complex urban landscape through image and sound. This course develops new forms of urban literacy by combining ethnographic social research methods with filmmaking (using smartphones and Adobe Premiere Pro) and 3D modelling (using the Adobe After Effects and Cinema 4D).
Lernziel	Through a combination of practical exercises in video and audio techniques in parallel with the study of seminal observation-driven texts like, this course aims to equip students with the basic tools and core principles to create short but complex portraits of urban space. This approach will be applied to the study of 'urban flux' - non-stop transformation of our environments, understood through everyday practices. Students will be invited to take a deep, 'thick' look at a neighbourhood of their choice, telling the story of its transformation through time and space, in the creation of a collective 'everyday' mosaic of urban spaces. Using widely available recording tools and editing software, students will turn their fieldwork into short video or audio works of about 3-5 minutes.
Inhalt	The course will compose of lectures, practical crash courses in media use and 3D modelling, and fieldwork sessions. The course will be a laboratory in the creation of short media works that aim to inform the architectural design process, working between the city and the studio in ONA. Students will be expected to complete all required work within the hours that the elective meets, with few requirements outside of the class hours.
Literatur	Seminal texts include: - ‘Cross-Cultural Filmmaking’ (Barbash, Castaing-Taylor) - ‘Acoustic Territories’ (LaBelle) - 'Ethnography: Principles in Practice' (Hammersley, Atkinson) - 'Thick Description: Toward an Interpretative Theory of Culture (Geertz)
Voraussetzungen / Besonderes	For students from all disciplines. Software required: Adobe Premiere Pro Adobe After Effects Cinema 4D (Free, available online) We give priority to students who also sign up to the Klumpner Chair Architectural Design Studio: Barranquilla. It is strongly recommended to take both courses in parallel. Lecturers/contacts: Prof. Klumpner, Klearjos Papanicolaou and Michael Walczak.

Kurzbeschreibung	How can we re-imagine ordinary neighbourhoods through strategically engaging and intensifying their creative potential, embracing their identity, traditions, rituals, the arts and cultural events? Students are introduced to case studies from the urban lecture series, design methods and tools for densification of city blocks and streetscapes, imagining growth processes for Cities within Cities.
Lernziel	Students will emerge in our chair’s “method-design” to develop their prototypical design on an urban and architectural scale. They will be guided to identify, map and develop networks of stakeholders, translate their demands and resources into scenarios for development and design evidence-based project interventions. Urban Design prototypes are the synthesis of this process on different scales, framed by a narrative that is consequentially visualized and communicated in analog and digital graphic representations.
Inhalt	Invited by the city, our studio is demonstrating how our method of incremental upgrades empowers social- and urban development as a design-strategy, translating benefits into the communities. Alternative approaches and tactics are particular to each city, and the cultural context needs to be understood and mapped. We are going to look at references, and tools drawn from our Urban-Stories Lecture Series. We are looking at Migrant neighbourhoods, Urban-Villages, and Townships. The concepts drawn from diverse contexts are then tested in the neighbourhood of Barrio Abajo in Colombia, which is at the heart of the UNESCO world heritage Carnival. With existing and new technological and cultural infrastructures, we are developing our goal, densifying land use, buildings, public spaces, programs and opportunities. Special attention will be given to housing and workplaces along with their demands on daylight, shadow, air, and accessibility. We are collaborating with SECO (Switzerland), WEF innovation districts initiative, Agenda 2030, and the SDG’s driving Colombian Cities. COVID 19 realities have impacted on how cities will work and sustain themselves in future. Returning to smaller entities of functional city on neighbourhood scale, the establishment of localised need and supply chains are necessary. Densification requires to be redefined in relation to autonomous systems, decentralisation, mobility, healthy living environments and social sustainability. Measures of pioneering solutions and step-by-step processes that are accessible for the local sectors of the population in the popular neighbourhood of Barrio Abajo, Barranquilla, Colombia are essential for a better understanding of urban design processes, pilots for urban-design, architectural projects in public spaces, and buildings that create direct links to economic improvements. Moreover, multi-stakeholders from civil society, public offices, or investors need to align better in a multi-sectoral perspective with varied expectations to deliver architecture for change. Many international design and consulting firms (Arup, BIG, OA) are transforming the city, along with the wealthy north by adding museums, conference centers, shopping malls. At the heart of all this lies Barrio Abajo, a rebellious 80 ha neighbourhood, where people own their land, are resistant against being included in short term investor models, because of concerns of gentrification and displacement. The emergence of a government innovation district programs embracing the digital revolution provides drivers on the economic and political agenda of smaller concrete prototypical projects to scale-up along with the events around the annual celebration of the carnival. The project transforms the environmental, social, and economic challenges based on the contemporary condition of the Barrio Abajo in Barranquilla. The village or “Barrio” is low-income, but not poor, full of opportunities, not problems. We like to place the current population into an integrated development frame and propose to make the benefits of the increased value of this central area of the city, the association between nature, culture, climate a benefit for the current inhabitants of the Barrio. Evidence-based urban planning and design informs better development, increases density, and exemplary governance. The implementation of typological models of urban design strategies, for blocks and streets, and a design decision-making environment will enable sustainable and resilient integrated planning and urban design solutions for the physical and non-physical (program and people) environment in the Barrio Abajo. Special attention will be given to the conceptual and transferable potentials to other Barrios in Barranquilla as well as other cities along the coast, Santa Marta, Cartagena, amongst others. The potential for entrepreneurship and bottom-up meeting top-down value chains can be provided by moderation and initiation through knowledge.
Skript	Students will emerge in our chair’s “method-design” to develop their prototypical design on an urban and architectural scale. Students will be coached to identify and develop networks of stakeholders who are based on an urban project, translate demands into ideas for development, geo-reference, and map. Design out of these ideas urban prototypes on different scales, framed by a narrative of a process that is visualized and communicated in analog and digital tools. Investigative Analysis/ Local Perspective: Registering the existing; prioritizing challenges and opportunities through qualitative and quantitative information; mapping on different design scales, periods, and time; configuring stakeholder groups; connecting top-down and bottom-up initiatives; idea mapping and concept mapping; designing of citizen scenarios. Project Design: synthesizing between different scenarios and definition of a thesis and program between the beneficiaries; projecting process presentation as a narrative embedded in multiple steps; describing an urban and architectural typology and prototypes; defining an urban paradigm. Domain Shift: shifting and translating different domains; testing and evaluating the design in feedback loops; inclusion of the project in the urban toolbox.
