FUSION 2025: Landscaping of the Hessian potash mining industry

FUSION SoSe 2025: Building Culture Kassel (II): INFRASTRUCTURES

A lecture series by the Faculty of Architecture - Urban Planning - Landscape Planning (ASL) at the University of Kassel

Last semester we already asked in the lecture series: What is the state of building culture in Kassel and northern Hesse? In the summer semester 2025, we are now focusing on major infrastructure projects: Freeways, rail roads, wind turbines, mining, industrial estates and bunkers. Each of these projects addresses a social need, and almost every one of them is met with protest. How legitimate are the needs, how legitimate is the protest? What contribution do the projects make to transformation and social renewal? Are there alternatives?

Each evening of the lecture series allows different actors to have their say and invites a joint discussion

Moderated and conceived by Philipp Oswalt

The lecture series takes place every Wednesday from 7 to 9 pm in the ASL-Neubau (Universitätsplatz 9, 34127 Kassel), room 106 (ground floor). Admission is free of charge.

May 7: LANDSCAPES OF HESSIAN CALIBERAL CONSTRUCTION | With Anna Bergold, Dr. Arndt Macheledt, Klaus Reinhardt

All dates of the public lecture series can be found on the Faculty 06 website under FUSION.
