R:26| Summer Semester 2022

The design project and the accompanying seminar "Kassel ID" examined how architecture and open spaces at different scales contribute to the creation of identity and identification with the built space. Themes guided and based on various formats of representation, analysis and interpretation of the urban space such as walks, mapping, interviews, grid safaris, etc., "built identity carriers" were worked out.

As part of the design work, underexposed places in Kassel's urban space were discovered and their talents were projected into the future in a design-oriented and highly inventory-oriented manner. With the findings from the analyses and against the background of various topics of sustainable urban design such as climate adaptation, multicoding, commoning, circularity or sufficiency, designs were developed on a scale ranging from intervention, micro-architecture to building and open space ensembles and their potential for creating identity was presented in drawings, models and images.

During the exhibition week, we invite you to get to know and develop new, controversial and radical ideas for a changed relationship between humans and nature at various stations of an xtopian circuit training. In addition to the general exhibition, the circuit training can be tried out on the ASL forecourt at the following times. The project is being carried out in cooperation with the transformative research project "Urbane Xtopien - Freiräume der Zukunft"(https://xtopien.org).

Example: Play Station Press Tour "Off to the Biocene!"

The aim here is to reflect on your own water consumption and consider what you could do without in your everyday life. Story (freely developed from my memory): Humanity lives on another planet. Animals and plants rule the earth and have decided at a conference that the people who manage to stay within a certain limit of water consumption will be allowed to return. So we stand at the "flight terminal" and go through various stations and (in the best case) finally receive the flight ticket back to Earth.

During the summer semester, students from Kassel, Germany and Europe developed designs as part of a study project and a summer school that enable precise reuse of existing buildings, new networking strategies for existing blocks, green open spaces as connectors and the successive transformation of street spaces. What is required is a city of lively footpaths, public passages, active first floor zones and a variety of uses.
