Designing in an Urban Context // FUSION Retrospectives with Elsa Prochazka and Verena Brehm

Designing in an Urban Context - Elsa Prochazka - 1992-1996
Interlocutor: Verena Brehm

With her multi-layered architectural work, Elsa Prochazka has left a striking mark through urban planning works, public buildings, residential, office and industrial buildings, especially in the cityscape of Vienna, as well as through her multiple participation in the Venice Architecture Biennale. At the interface of architecture, urban planning and landscape planning, her field of expertise still represents an essential key to the conception of the discipline today. With Verena Brehm, she illuminates the role that the urban context can play for architecture today and in the future.

FUSION Retrospectives

The Reform University Kassel is celebrating its 50th anniversary. Time for a balance and an outlook also in architecture, urban and landscape planning in the context of the lecture series FUSION.

Where we come from and which lasting accents our department has set is the focus of the FUSION "Retrospectives" in the winter semester 2021/22. Pioneers who were central to the formation of the department profile present positions and contributions in a retrospective of their work at the university and beyond. In conversation with guests and colleagues, they reflect on the significance of architecture, urban and landscape planning at a reform university and in a society undergoing rapid change.
