Public lecture series on challenges in ASL

The Faculty of Architecture - Urban Planning - Landscape Planning (ASL) at the University of Kassel is continuing its 50th anniversary exhibition and lecture series this winter semester. Under the title "The Kassel Model 1973 - 2023", the weekly lecture series FUSION and varying exhibitions will highlight innovations and pressing issues from all three areas - from urban activism to sustainable building.

The FUSION lecture series in the winter semester 2023/24 will focus on the anniversary. The planned events will combine a review of the history of research and teaching with current topics such as urban activism, the redesign of public spaces, the moratorium on demolition, sustainable building and digitalization. In the spirit of the "Kassel Model", the lectures will focus on critical and technically sound concepts on how to address social challenges.

The Faculty's newly appointed professors also give their inaugural lectures as part of FUSION. The series also includes two farewell lectures this semester. The events will take place in person: from October 18, every Wednesday from 7 - 9 p.m. in the new ASL building (Universitätsplatz 9, 34127 Kassel), room 106 (ground floor). The lectures will also be recorded and made available online as videos the following day. Admission is free of charge.

All dates and lectures as well as the recordings of the events can be found at: www.uni-kassel.de/go/fusion

In addition to the lecture series, the anniversary exhibition series will also be continued in the winter semester 2023/24.
