Lecture series urban planning

Since 2017, Maren Harnack and Janna Hohn, professors of urban planning and urban design at Frankfurt UAS, have been organizing two lectures per semester on urban planning topics in cooperation with the Association for Urban, Regional and State Planning SRL e.V. Regionalgruppe Hessen, Rheinland Pfalz, Saarland and the Frankfurt Research Institute FFin.

Experts from practice, research and teaching who work at the interface of architecture, urban planning and landscape architecture are invited. The lectures serve the professional exchange, also beyond the Rhine-Main region, and include work reports, but also contributions from publicly funded projects such as the Regionale in NRW or the IBA Stuttgart.

Each lecture is recognized by the Chamber of Architects of Hesse with two continuing education points.
You will be regularly informed about the lectures and other events via the FFin distribution list. If you are interested, please register here for the newsletter.

 

"Thresholds - Narratives on the city of the future"

Dr. Laura Veronese, studiofutura

Against the backdrop of dynamic changes such as climate change or the mobility turnaround, Dr. Laura Veronese, in her contribution to the lecture series Urban Design, shows studiofutura's working method as research for future narratives, new interpretations and approaches to solutions in the field of tension between disciplines, times and scales.

"Commons - Climate - Ecosystem: Sharing common ground"

Resource scarcity, climate change and the decline in biodiversity are an expression of anthropogenic changes to our urban environment. However, the city is not only a problem, but also an innovation space for new ways of life and experiments in harmony with ecological and social processes. What does this mean for our specialist areas of "Urban planning and design in an international context" and "Sustainable open space and urban design"?

Tuesday, November 7, 2023, 7:00 pm

"Across - shaping urban futures"

Prof. Dr. Lisa Diedrich
Walter Gropius Chair (DAAD) University of Buenos Aires

What roles can designers play in critically addressing the global challenges of the Anthropocene and urban landscapes in the North and South? How do we want to educate and research in the future, in cooperation with science and civil society, in a world understood as a "pluriverse"?

Bachelor course of studies architecture (B.A.)

Lecture and Exercise Urban Design 2
Students learn about urban structures beyond the individual architectural object; the lecture Urban Design 2 deals with the spatial, open space, functional and social determinants in urban design. In the exercise, students deal with the design and spatial formation on the scale levels of the residential environment and the urban neighborhood as well as its overall urban networking and apply these in an urban design exercise.

Städtebau 2

Elective course in urban development and open space planning
On the basis of changing current topics from the field of urban development and open space planning, students independently develop positions on urban development topics in individual and team work. For this purpose, relevant information from literature, archives and systematic, own surveys are collected, evaluated and interpreted. The results of the methodical analytical work are presented as a subject-related position.  Within the framework of the elective Urban Planning and Open Space Planning, students acquire in-depth knowledge of urban planning approaches; they learn to evaluate the context and boundary conditions of urban planning and to develop new approaches on this basis.

Die immer neue Altstadt

Bachelorthesis
In the bachelor's thesis, students work on a larger, complex urban quarter from the analysis to the urban design detail. They must develop alternative designs, weigh and balance conflicting requirements and specifications, arrive at independent solutions and independently select adequate forms of presentation and areas of specialization.

 

Bachelor Thesis

Master of Architecture (M.A), Master of Advanced Architecture (M.A), Master of UMSB (M.Eng)

Seminar Urban Renewal / Urban Redevelopment
The seminar participants deepen their knowledge in the field of urban renewal and urban redevelopment and are enabled by the application of the acquired knowledge to plan and evaluate the renewal and redevelopment of cities under consideration of context and boundary conditions and to make system decisions on this basis. Knowledge of guiding principles, concepts, procedures and instruments in the fields of urban renewal, urban redevelopment and urban design is imparted. In addition, methods of analysis and development of action concepts from the neighborhood to the individual object are taught. Special emphasis is placed on the ability to apply the acquired knowledge to contexts other than the familiar, including multidisciplinary contexts, and to implement independently acquired knowledge in projects.

Master Program Environmental Management and Urban Planning in Metropolitan Areas

Seminar Urban Planning History and Theory
The module Urban Planning History and Theory deals with the different periods of urban planning history and theories of the city in the past and in the present. Students acquire knowledge of the development of contemporary cities, urban spaces and urban regions and the associated concepts, theories and models. This knowledge is the basis for the subsequent critical examination of contemporary development trends, in which theoretical knowledge is related to concrete spaces.


Seminar Social and Cultural Aspects of Urban Planning
The seminar deals with the interaction between urban space and society. It examines the social and cultural significance of the European city, the social and cultural preconditions for the development of cities, and the importance of the public and private spheres as structural elements for urban planning. Aspects such as urban identity and cultural diversity, urban segregation and marginalization processes play an important role. In the field, students observe to what extent the theoretical considerations can be found in urban society.


Interdisciplinary Project / Design
In design, students learn in-depth knowledge and methods of urban design. They combine stocktaking, evaluation, goal formulation and program development and develop design approaches from this. The focus is on dealing with the spatial, functional and open-space building blocks of the city, which are applied within the framework of a complex design project, as well as the adequate drawing/graphical representation of the results.

 

Identification and image change as factors in building development

Housing and urban development of the 1960s and 1970s is often perceived as problematic.

In particular, projects from this period are considered "social hot spots," even if they do not stand out in the crime statistics. So far, the debate has mostly focused on reasons for the failure of these structures and, in particular, on the lack of connecting factors for the identification of the population.

However, numerous individual cases show that the housing and urban development of the 1960s and 1970s can facilitate both good social coexistence and a strong identification of the population. This transfer of these strategies could be used systematically and could be used for a sustainable development of the building stock that goes beyond energetic refurbishment.

Research Laboratory Building Culture and Settlement Construction of Post-War Modernism

Quality of life in large housing estates

Study to improve the assessment of housing and quality of life in large housing estates

Quality of life is a multifaceted topic that is addressed by a variety of disciplines. In the context of neighborhood development in large housing estates, however, quality-of-life concepts have rarely been applied. This is where the research project "Quality of Life in Large Housing Estates" comes into play and explores the question of what constitutes quality of life in large housing estates, how it can be measured using indicators and to what extent the assessment supports the strategic as well as operational further development of housing estates.

The late Ernst May settlements in Hesse

Housing estates of the post-war modernism in Frankfurt

Frankfurt University of Applied Siences, 2018

A pilot study in cooperation with the Landesamt für Denkmalpflege Hessen. Using the example of the late Ernst May housing estates in Hesse, the study worked out how the criteria for monument protection can be applied to post-war housing estates, which can then be transferred to other estates.
