FUSION less: A plea for less | less:Exclusive | Prof. Dr. Renée Tribble

With Prof. Dr. Renée Tribble, TU Dortmund University, Department of Urban Planning, Urban Land Use Planning and Process Design // Planbude Hamburg

Urban planning by many for many. Processes and Methods for Citizen Power
Renée Tribble and her office Planbude have critically monitored the Esso Houses in Hamburg's St. Pauli district for years, developing a best-practice example of participatory neighborhood development in Germany. The professor of urban planning, land use planning and process design at TU Dortmund University tells how architecture can be rethought as an urban practice through the integration of many people and with the help of artistic interventions.

Dr. Renée Tribble is professor of urban planning, urban land use planning and process design at TU Dortmund University. She studied architecture at Bauhaus University Weimar and received her PhD in urban planning from HafenCity University Hamburg in 2021. As an independent planner, founding member and shareholder of PlanBude Hamburg and Projektbüro Hamburg, her focus is on cooperative and community-oriented urban development processes. She conducts research on urban practice, art and urban planning, participatory neighborhood and urban development, and cooperative planning processes.

FUSION Wi­Se 2022/23
less:

The climate, biodiversity, and energy crises are forcing us to radically question current building practices. Fusion Conversations 2022/23 introduces actors who are using unconventional concepts and ideas to advocate for a true building and mobility turnaround, other forms of city and landscape, and contemporary teaching. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the ASL department, Fusion continues the long tradition of progressive ecological positions of the University of Kassel and updates them for the present. less: is a plea for less: less cars, less demolition, less concrete, less CO2, less environmental destruction, less sealing, less exploitation, less capitalism. The role of urban and architectural professionals will change dramatically in the coming years. To ensure adequate education, we need more courage for experiments, interdisciplinary teaching concepts and a de-hierarchization of structures. The Fusion Talks want to unfold a utopian potential and give courage to change things ourselves.

Fusion 2022/23 is conceived and organized by the student project group Less:ON and the FG Architectural Theory and Design.

Wednesdays between 7 and 9 pm, 26.10.22 - 01.02.23
Room 106, new building ASL, Universitätsplatz 9, Kassel. Free admission. The event is recognized by the Chamber of Architects as continuing education.
