berlin summer academy "ars09berlin" application deadline postponed

ars09berlin
May 30th - July 2nd

http://www.summer-academy-berlin.eu


In a critical panorama where energetic efficient buildings fail to match
contemporary architectural concepts, ars09berlin - the summer academy for
architecture, reurbanization and sustainability of the University of
Applied Sciences Berlin - offers the opportunity to rethink the existing
city under sustainable values. EXPERIMENT TRANSIT is a program aiming the
issue of reorganizing and restructuring the urban fabric of the city.

As part of the University of Applied Sciences, where technological
research and multidisciplinary working methods are carried out together,
technical support from renamed experts on sustainable development field
will be offered for the students. A combination of an architectural and
urban design studio along with lectures of renowned capacities of the
field will set up the frame to create ideas and strategies for the
sustainable development of the site.

Urban planers, architects, designers, historians, engineers and critics
will bring forth lines of perspective and open up the debate, rethinking
the role of energy waste in contemporary design. Speakers like Fritz
Reusswig from the Potsdam Institute of Climate Impact Research, Thomas
Lechner from Transsolar, Berlin Architects dealing with public interaction
like Raumlabor and members of the winning Solar Decathlon team will be
part of the team.

The airfield of Tempelhof Airport, inside Berlin's beltway, was shut down
in October 2008. The size of the airfield, the economical and demographics
situation call for different means of revitalizing this area. The
challenge is unprecedented; other redevelopment procedures for the center
of Berlin after reunification can't keep up with it and no investor is
offering any idea.

As a result, only time appears to be part of the solution. However, in
most parts of Berlin, spontaneous urban users have achieved more suitable
solutions rather than top-down development could ever accomplish; offering
opportunities to individuals taking on their initiative and living their
dreams instead of over imposing authoritarian plans.

As a whole method, rather than looking at one solution, we do investigate
scenarios. We consider scenarios as tools to explore future – or even
different possible futures. This approach allows us to focus on critical
uncertainties.

Starting with fieldtrips to explore similar situations and to get familiar
with the city of Berlin, this program offers an academic environment for
learning in an international context, referencing different cultural
backgrounds to new perspectives, fostering intercultural understanding.

This year the summer academy for architecture, reurbanization and
sustainability, ars09berlin will take place from May 30th to July 2nd. Due
to academic schedules the deadline for applications of international
architecture and urban design students is postponed to 15th May.
Applicants interested on alternative strategies for the city and reuse of
derelict urban sites, open for creative solutions with skills on
developing new approaches are highly encouraged to participate.
