Welcome

I am very happy to give you an insight with this year book 2010/2011 in the event programme of Oskar von Miller Forum, which, since its inauguration on 2 December, 2009 by the Bavarian Minister-President Horst Seehofer, fulfils the mission to endorse education in the construction industry, science and research in civil engineering, the art of building and the protection of environment, landscape and monuments. University education of civil engineers as well as the support of the education of master builders studying at Munich’s master school for the building trade are at the centre of our activities, which concentrate on two essential areas. On the one hand, the interdisciplinary events and lectures programme is intended to provide impetus in view of future technologies and the knowledge needed to create them. Part of this are aspects such as integrative abilities of perception and communication in order to specifically improve future prospects of civil engineers and vocational school students in the construction industry. In addition to our inhouse events, numerous subject-related events are organized at Oskar von Miller Forum by others to support this mission. On the other hand, international guest scientists, students and vocational school students living together are given the extraordinary opportunity to exchange interdisciplinary knowledge and experience so as to understand the totality of master building, to learn from each other through intercultural exchange and to develop comprehension for somebody else’s points of view and ways of acting.

Year Book 2010/11 | The Forum

Supporting personal development, promoting social competences and imparting a sense of responsibility with regard to forming future leaders belong also to our mission. It is achieved by organizing seminars as well as by the informal encounter of the students with extraordinary personalities of the professional world, science, culture and politics. In turn, our guests commit themselves to enhance the academic and cultural life of the house with their own contributions such as presentations, organisation of international evenings and by assuming responsibility to make the community in our house a positive experience. An essential part to satisfying this demanding task is contributed by the building of the Oskar von Miller Forum itself, designed by the renowned architectural office Thomas Herzog + Partner. The Forum sets standards when it comes to the quality of construction technology and art of building, and reinforces by its va riety of different rooms our educational mission in many ways. The high-quality event and living areas are complemented by the club room serving many pur poses and our own bistro, where students and guest scientists come together with members and representatives of the construction industry and the TUM’s Faculty of Civil Engineering and Faculty of Architecture. The advantageous location in direct vicinity to Technische Universität and the Kunst areal museum quarter in Munich brings another potential to experience vividly science, technology, design and art and to profit from the educational offer provided by the nearby museums, collections, institutes, universities and research institutes. They complement the Oskar von Miller Forum’s educational programme per fectly and enable the new engineers at the Faculties of Civil Engineering and Architecture of TUM and master builders studying at the Fachschule für Bautechnik to exchange their knowledge and experience.

With this high-quality and diverse educational offer, the Oskar von Miller Forum lives up to its aims of supporting its guests in their pursuit of excellence and of reinforcing their prospects in the future as well as preparing them for interdisciplinary projects with various professional, social, political, economic, ecologic and ethical interconnections. I hope that this year book which documents our activities in the academic years 2010/2011 awakes your interest and I am already looking forward to our new programme and the dialogue resulting thereof with you in the upcoming year 2011/2012.

ProgRAMME AT Oskar von Miller Forum GENERAL REFLECTIONS

Event Concept

With regard to the Faculties of Civil Engineering and Architecture the Oskar von Miller Forum works in a positive, complementary way and generates independent impulses. In addition to impetus from the field of activities of the construction industry, social and politico-economic aspects are treated. Beyond boundaries of the individual disciplines we show connections, discuss key subjects controversially and question paradigms. The essential demand to all events is the question whether a decisive stimulus is given to the academic education of civil engineers, whilst respecting at the same time our commitment towards the construction industry.

•Impulse Lectures• Essential elements of the event programm are the regularly held, outstanding impulse lectures, providing important stimulus. The invited lecturers pursue their obligation in our house beyond the evening lecture, for example during discussions, and influence positively our students’ perso nality and the experiences made by them. The impulse lectures are not only meant to satisfy the aspect of securing the future of and increasing quality in the construction industry, but also to have a homogenous concept. This does not imply a fixed scheme with semester-related subjects in analogy to a series of academic lectures, but the integration of current issues with focus on the future.

left Impulse lecture Students at one of our first impulse lecture

•International/intercultural Exchange• Complementing these excellent evening events, in the framework of an in-house evening programme, the students and guest scientists are given the opportunity of an intensive and interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge and experience on an international level. Guest scientists present the main focuses of their activities and research to the Forum’s students. The students for their part are invited to present their areas of activity and other subjects in the framework of so-called tandem lectures. During self-organized work students can establish priorities be yond their specific knowledge and discover and experience personal strengths.

•Professional Exchange• Special seminars are held to provide of personality training for students at the Forum as future leaders of the business and academic life and research. Focus is on training integrative abilities of perception and communication. Themes such as leadership, communication skills and international manners are part of the programme. The first seminar took place on 23rd and 24th October, 2010. Other se minars are specially customised to the needs of civil engineers in cooperation with UnternehmerTUM and Carl von Linde Akademie.

Year Book 2010/11 | Events

•Creating Networks• In order to guarantee a most productive working and living community for the students at Oskar von Miller Forum, the seminars aiming at personal development are complemented by an annual welcoming evening at the start of the winter semester to support the integration of new students. This evening took place for the first time on 28 October 2010. Moreover, we say goodbye to our leaving students, wishing to uphold in the future our guests’ connection to the house beyond their stay. This takes place during a summer festival, of which the first one was organized on 30 June 2011. In this con text, we also initiated an alumni network. Events such as the summer festival, lectures and others contribute considerably to building an efficient social and professional network for the exchange of our students with their predecessors. Alumni meetings could also be organized together with activities of the Faculties of Civil Engineering and Architecture.

•Interdisciplinary Studies• As already explained, internationally renowned personalities talk about highly topi cal subjects in the impulse lectures. In addition to technical lectures on specific subjects, interdisciplinary topics are dealt with in lectures following a more horizontal approach. Links and connections are demonstrated and contents are discussed critically and controversially. In-depth lectures on one subject are followed by lectures showing the connections and links between different topics. In addition to traditional engineering matters, socio-cultural and political references can be established, and recent topics, e. g. sustainability, can be presented and discussed. In general, a too close intertwining with events of TUM in view of “complementing their teaching” is not intended. Stimulation from the outside is at the foreground of the Oskar von Miller Forum’s activities. However, particular events, such as, for example outstanding professorial applicant’s lectures can take place at the Forum when suitable, as here a larger audience is reached.

•Exhibitions• top Prof. Dr. Jörg Schlaich Impulse lecture “Engineering Art – the Roof of the Olympic Stadium in Munich – and After”

Selected exhibitions from the field of civil engineering offer the possibility to accompany the lectures or to present individual subjects in graphic form. During vernissages personalities are given the chance to speak so as to further communication between students and the industry.

below Lecture Jörg Schlaich Exciting insight into the extra ordinary work of Jörg Schlaich

Engineering Art – the roof of the Olympic Stadium Munich – and After On 11 November, 2010 Jörg Schlaich held the first impulse lecture at Oskar von Miller Forum: “Engineering Art – the Roof of the Olympic Stadium Munich – and After”. Civil engineer Professor Dr.-Ing. Drs.h.c. Jörg Schlaich leads together with his partner Rudolf Bergermann one of the most innovative engineering offices in Germany. Their work is dedicated to building art and combines three priorities: design and art, design and society, design and ecology. These parameters led to artistic building structures whose efficiency and beauty are astonishing. Especially in the field of solar power generation the two engineers with their office make a contribution to technologically innovative processing of existing resources. Jörg Schlaich’s work is characterized by visions and the aspiration to implement them. He not only sought challenges in the field of civil engineering; his work is a demonstration of deep consciousness of social, cultural, economic and ecologic problems of humanity.

Involving people, to connect them and to tackle problems with openness and unconventionality is one of Jörg Schlaich’s greatest strength. Time and time again, he successfully managed to set milestones in the art of civil engineering, which amazed by their explosive nature and their closeness to humans, touching them emotionally. The bridge built for 23 years by the people of Kolkata, or his participation at the pavilion roof for the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich with its antiarchitecture as a reaction to the Olympic constructions of 1936 demonstrate his commitment for general social questions.

•Exhibition• High Energy – Engineering Art His many award-winning works Jörg Schlaich handed over to the Academy of the Arts in Berlin. With care and love an exhibition has been set up from this fund. In the two weeks following Jörg Schlaich’s lecture, a great part of the exhibition was presented in the foyer of the Oskar von Miller Forum. The exhibition took place from Wednesday 11 to Friday 26 November.

knowledge and a comprehensive, interdisciplinary perspective of things which turned his books into core literature quoted all over the world. His interdisciplinary design methods and his trained sense of aesthetics made him a very renowned consultant demanded by internationally acclaimed design offices such as Jourda et Perraudin Architects, Lyon, von Gerkan, Marg und Partner, Ham burg, Bothe Richter Teherani, Hamburg, or Herzog + Partner, Munich. In the design process he gives priority to approaching building services engineering as an integral part of architecture in consideration of opportunities presented by passive measures such as the aligning of buildings and their façades, maximization of the use of natural ventilation, consideration of general physical principles, for example thermal buoyancy or the use of thermal mass to store thermal energy according to individual needs. In this way, investments and operational costs as well as technology use are reduced to a necessary minimum.

His long-term work and experience in building services made of him not only a very sought-after expert in the field of climate conscious building but also ear ned him the Chair of Building Services Engineering at the ETH Zürich where he taught from 1991 to 2005. Klaus Daniels has made more of a mark in the field of ecological building. In 2006 Technische Universität Munich has conferred him the honorary doctorate for his outstanding accomplishments. Since 2008 he is managing partner of HL-Technik Engineering Partner GmbH and represents since 2008 the Department of Design and Building Services Engineering at Technical University Darmstadt.

•Building Informatione Modeling (BIM): Networked Knowledge –• •Optimised Design – Efficient Building – Sustainable Management• The so called Building Information Modelling (BIM) is considered one of the most promising developments in the field of computer-aided design processes, offer ing everybody involved a fundamentally improved and simplified data exchange. The qualitative and cost-conscious design, production and utilization of structures until their demolition in respect of sustainable thinking and working methods requires the efficient networking of information and the interaction of everybody involved in the construction process.

Year Book 2010/11 | Events

As a result, in view of optimizing quality, costs, time and energy efficiency, the use of proficient computer tools and the networking of different data bases are more and more in the foreground, whose complexity increasingly complicated the design process until now. At the centre of the BIM approach is the creation of a digital building model, integrating, in addition to the complete 3D geometry, all important information such as, for example, the material-, mechanical and energy-related characteristics. In this way, it forms the basis for a variety of simulations and calculations, amongst them static calculations, verifications of heating requirements, room and climate simulations and cost estimates. The model serves as common working base for everybody participating in the design process, permits furthermore the support of logistics in the construction execution, the optimized operation of the building and, one day, its demolition. To keep the digital building model available in a durable, up-dated data base guarantees an immediate accessibility to data for everybody, an optimized information exchange between the persons involved in the design as well as long-lasting data storage over the whole lifecycle of the structure. In the field of Building Information Modelling, Professor Dr. Martin Fischer is re garded as one of the leading experts throughout the world, who succeeded with numerous projects to show how BIM unites technology, economy, function and design aspects in an optimum way. Moreover, his requirement to sustainability of the built-up environment is extraordinary.

Masdar City street canyon

•Masdar City: Transsolar KlimaEngineering• Masdar City is a new ecologically-oriented urban development situated 30 kilometres east of Abu Dhabi. “At the beginning, there was the conviction that respon sible dealing with our environment necessitates to give up nuclear energy sources, to cut down the utilization of fossil fuels and to increase the use of solar energy and other regenerative energies.” Masdar City aspires to be completely supplied by renewable energies and to act as example for ecology aware construction. This planning approach is based on subjects that have become more and more important in recent years, such as energy costs and energy savings, accompanying the development of our society. “The more a society develops, the more its needs become challenging, also those to be fulfilled in buildings.” Urban planners, architects, scientists and engineers from all over the world participate at the unique project Masdar City to transform this city into the archetype of most modern, environmentally aware and sustainable urbanisation in the United Arab Emirates.

Year Book 2010/11 | Events

Already in February 2008, construction of the ecological city started. Completion has recently been predicted for 2025. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) will open its headquarters here. By consistent recycling and zero CO2 emissions, Masdar City will be nearly wastefree and supplied entirely by renewable energies. For example, fresh air corridors and parks will traverse the building area, decreasing the ambient temperature of the buildings significantly compared to the city of Abu Dhabi. Masdar City will be appraised as the prototype of a sustainable, future-oriented city. Transsolar has been mandated to establish the development plan for climate engineering, identifying the necessary potential energy savings, and to develop directions to create an energy-autarkic and state-of-the-art city. To achieve highest possible user comfort with lowest possible impact on the environment is an essential aim of the city’s design. Therefore, innovative climate and energy concepts have been developed to create a CO2-neutral city. Prof. Matthias Schuler has co-founded in 1992 the Transsolar Energietechnik GmbH and is manager of the world’s leading company for climate engineering in Stuttgart. His many articles in international trade magazines, such as Architecture, Au jourd’hui, xia-Intelligente Architektur, DETAIL and Harvard Design Magazine are highly recognized publications in the field of sustainable building and give an insight in the bases of his work. After teaching at the Institute for Architecture and Design of the University of Stuttgart and his cooperation with the Solar Energy Lab of the University of Wisconsin, he has been appointed as professor to Harvard University Graduate School of Design where he teaches since 2001.

Today, Transsolar has offices in Stuttgart, Munich and New York and has realised more than 500 projects. Matthias Schuler is one of the most renowned designers in the area of innovative, resource-friendly building, working together with wellknown architects from all over the world such as Foster + Partners, Jean Nouvel, SANAA, Murphy/Jahn and Renzo Piano.

•Burj Khalifa: A new paradigm• With 828 m height, the skyscraper Burj Khalifa in Dubai breaks all records and is the world’s highest building. The architecture and civil engineering office Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM)/Chicago, leader of design works, has developed a new system for the load-bearing structure – the so-called buttressed core. This system is a hexagonal core, strengthened by three buttresses forming a Y. The development of this new system together with some important technological innovations was a basic condition in view of the implementation of this unique building.

Year Book 2010/11 | Events

After a construction period of 6 years, Burj Khalifa has been completed in January 2010. From the beginning, the skyscraper has been at the centre of an extensive urban development with a surrounding basic structure, neighbouring 6 floor office buildings, and equipped with a 2 storey leisure area including a swimming pools. On its height of 828 m the Burj Khalifa accommodates 160 floors. The building holds records in three categories acknowledged by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH): highest building in the world in view of architectural height, highest occupied floor and height to tip. William F. Baker, as responsible structural and civil engineer, led the design team of Burj Khalifa and is especially known for the design of extraordinarily tall buildings. Moreover, William F. Baker is responsible for a number of extraordinary buildings such as, for example, the GM Entry Pavilion and the Millennium Park‘s Jay Pritzker Pavilion or also the BP Pedestrian Bridge. He is also known for his wide-spanning roof structures such as the Korean Air Lines Operations Hangar and the Virginia Beach Convention Center.

Will buildings become organic? drivers of change 2006

•[Y]our Future• The future is fiction. It is an unknown history to whose creation everybody of us contributes every day. Still, we know that change is constant and that the context of our perception is the variable of the history. On a shrinking planet the varia bility of the context poses a simple yet important question: “What is the normal?” Each individual has its own perception and conception of normality. There might be local standards obeyed by a group, which cannot be transferred to the whole world. However, we are noticeably a globalised society, implying that “normality” is required everywhere. It is not only required but re-defined every day. So when

Year Book 2010/11 | Events

e look into the future, we have to ask ourselves: “What will normality look like?” w Which context do we have to look at when we act as designers? Which context do we hope for? Which context will we inherit? Can we even begin to comprehend a context defining a world inhabited by 9,000,000,000 people? How can we use design thoughts in order to take care of the majority of people who will be over 65 years of age? What will be the structural challenges once the sea level has risen continuously metre by metre? In which way a new design paradigm can be determined for the global economy – post-capitalism and post-consumption? There are so many complex challenges the world faces that the only way forward is to combine design thoughts and design methods. Those will use ambiguity and creative problem approach as a part of the design vocabulary. This presentation emphasises the question of the normal and the question how we have to think of it on our way into the future. Each day we influence the normal of the lives of every future generation. We are very happy to welcome Dr. Chris Luebkeman, leader of the Arup team Global Foresight & Innovation, at Oskar von Miller Forum. With more than 10,000 collaborators in 92 offices in 37 countries, Arup is one of the leading civil engineering offices throughout the world. With his portfolio Dr. Luebkeman holds a key position within Arup’s structure. A particular challenge for him is to create better awareness of trigger forces of global changes and how they can be included into the development of effective global business strategies. Before he joined Arup in 1999, he taught as geologist, civil engineer and architect at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, the University of Oregon, the Chinese University of Hong Kong and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

At Arup he first became co-director of Research and Development of a team of more than fifty highly qualified technicians, which he led in the framework of Arup’s R&D activities in view of particularly innovative subjects and projects. Today, Dr. Luebkeman is head of the working group Global Foresight & Innovation at Arup. Dr. Luebkeman calls himself a generalist. Because of his foresighted and interdisciplinary views, he has been appointed Senior Fellow of the Design Futures Council. In 2002, Wallpaper Magazine counted him amongst the ten future shapers who will change the way we live. He holds lectures on a regular basis at internationally renowned conferences. In his most recent publication “Drivers of Change 2009” he takes a look on the 50 most important factors that will influence our world.

•Water – the Challenge of the 21st Century• The water footprint of humanity has exceeded sustainable levels at several places and is unequally distributed among people. Water footprint reduction and miti gation of its impacts encompass a shared responsibility between consumers, pro ducers, investors and governments. Good information about water footprints of communities and businesses is required in order to understand how we can formulate adequate response strategies pointing towards a more sustainable and equitable use of fresh water. Water scarcity is often the result of inadequate attention to freshwater when investing in agriculture or expanding cities or industries.

Year Book 2010/11 | Events

Prof. Dr. Arjen Y. Hoekstra talking to Prof. Dr. Harald Hom, Institute of Water Quality Control – Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geodesy (TUM)

Integration of freshwater considerations is essential in nearly all decisions made in daily life. As consumers we make decisions on what we consume, which indirectly affect our water footprint. As workers for private or governmental organisations we make decisions on public and private investments, on where materials are sourced from and on agricultural, urban and energy policies. The accumulation of all these decisions has brought us in the position we face today: too many places that face severe freshwater scarcity and pollution, where rivers run dry, groundwater tables and lake levels decline and aquatic life is threat ened by damming of rivers and by pollution. Often this is invisible to us as consumers, because as a result of global trade of both agricultural and industrial goods, we have no longer any idea about the natural resource use and environmental impacts associated with the products we consume.

Many of us are spatially disconnected from the processes necessary to produce the products we consume. Good water governance is not a simple matter of managing our waters better; it is about integrating considerations of freshwater scarcity in everyday life decisions in all sectors of society. Arjen Hoekstra is Professor in Water Management at the University of Twente and Scientific Director of the Water Footprint Network. He specialises in integrated water resources management, river basin management, policy analysis, systems analysis and the science of sustainable development. Hoekstra has an MSc degree in Civil Engineering and a PhD degree in Policy Analysis, both from the Delft University of Technology. He has working experience in various professional environments in different countries. Hoekstra is creator of the water footprint concept and established the interdisciplinary research field of water footprint assessment, which addresses the relations between water management, consumption and trade. His publications cover a wide range of topics related to water scarcity, flood risk management and sustainable development and include 45 papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals. His books include “Perspectives on Water” (1998), “Globalization of Water” (2008) and “The Water Footprint Assessment Manual” (2011).

In the framework of this competence-creating event, new and old students got to know each other and exchanged first information about origin, education, studies, interests and goals. Moreover, leadership competen cies as well as international communication skills and conflict management were trained. Two experienced trainers held the seminar, Ms Judith Bergner MBE psychologist and Ms Nilüfer Boysan-Dietrich, who have been teaching the scientific workforce at TUM in the last years. The content and the results of the seminar were not only supposed to give impetus for living and working together in our house, for studies and education as well as the presentation of the students, but also to sharpen the focus on aims of future activities in the framework of the Forum’s programme. As event location, the education centre directed by Bayerische Bauindustrieverband e. V. in Stockdorf was chosen, where – in addition to accommodation in the apprentices’ rooms and catering – fantastic rooms creating a connection to the education of construction-relevant professions and trades were at disposal. As evening get-together a barbecue, was organized.

Summer School

The Summer School of the University of Texas in Austin – School of Architecture was a six week seminar for sustainable building taking place in Munich. From the 18 participants who came to Technische Universität Munich, half of them lived at Oskar von Miller Forum from 31 May to 9 July, 2010. In the seminar mainly elementary physical principles of sustainable building designs, climate-depending phenomena, user-depending requirements to comfort and basic principles of sustainable building were discussed. These subjects were complemented by lectures on passive and active use of renewable energies and examples, serving as theoretic basis for excursions. The excursions were at the heart of the seminar “Modern History of Sustainable Architecture”. Another important part of the programme were appearances of external experts, building inspections and the participation at other seminars. Different examples regarding sustainable building were treated in the seminar, such as, for example, the Munich city quarter Messestadt Riem, the solar quarter Vauban in Freiburg as well as resident, business and cultural buildings. Each seminar was followed up by a one-week workshop led by Prof. Dr. Gerhard Haus laden, Technische Universität Munich, and was part of a post-graduate master class in the framework of the programme ClimaDesign of the Faculty of Architecture TUM. The participants had the choice between two research topics “Technologies and techniques of sustainable building” or “Modern history and examples of sustainable architecture”, for which the students had to prepare a presentation of the obtained results, presented at the end of the seminar.

After living one year in the Forum, I asked myself “what has been changed?” and I realized that; I changed. It is the most effective and responsible community which says “It is the time to stand up, go and do it for your dreams! NOW!” OvMF made me realize the value of education and participation in this international community. It shows you the perfect opportunities and opens your vision. It helps you to find your own way in your future career. Living together with my future collegues, meeting and talking with scholars, give me the feeling of living in a big elusive and elite family. I believe that it is the best opportunity that I get in Germany.

Student F rance

Gautier Tribet The Oskar von Miller Forum is a place of exchange and countless incentives where different cultures and types of education meet to motivate each other mutually. The guests can participate at everyday life at the Forum and also at international seminars and events or even organize excellent events themselves. The Oskar von Miller Forum complements in an unparalleled way the academic education as students learn to assume responsibility for their professional future. Oskar von Miller Forum est un lieu d‘échange et d‘éveil, où les cultures et formations se rencontrent pour mieux se façonner. Les résidents s‘investissent aussi bien dans l‘organisation de la vie quotidienne du Forum, qu‘en participant à des congrès internationaux ou contest universitaires, ou en organisant des évènements d‘une haute qualité. C‘est un complément sans précédent à la formation académique, où les étudiants apprennent à endosser des responsabilités pour leur avenir professionnel.

This picture, taken at a friday evening in the work-encouraging, but nevertheless warm ambience of the common area,Â emphasizes on the students the experience of science in an international environment through interacÂtive dialogues. While our fellow students prefer to spend their free time with more popular activities, we at the forum, often discuss on architecture, construction, environment outlines or even on socio-political topics, that go far beyond the path of our studies. Oskar von Miller Forum is not an ordinary student dormitory, and what makes it so special are itâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s guests, who actively involve by taking responsibilities, achieving goals and solving problems by always looking from their diverse aspects.

GUEST SCIENTIST Italy

Dr. Gabriella Cianciolo I first heard of Oskar von Miller Forum in Munich and the possibility to apply for an apartment in 2010 when I was a Postdoctoral Fellow of the Italian Academy for Advanced Studies in America (Columbia University). The opportunity alone to live in the city centre, in one of the most modern and sustainable buildings dedicated to architecture and civil engineering, near the university and the important libraries, research centres and cultural institutions in Munich seemed to be the ideal place to promote my research project in architectural history. So I send my application to Munich and after a while I received a positive answer from the Forum. During my stay, I realised quickly that the Oskar von Miller Forum does not only offer beautiful, modern, elegant and central apartments. In fact, the international and interdisciplinary envi ronment of the Forum revealed itself to be a fruitful and motivating place where I could find important impetus to my work in a comfortable and nice surrounding. I can discuss my ideas and projects with many people – professors, experts and colleagues of different nationalities and

disciplines – and associate my own research (the Italian influences on German post-war architecture) with different methods and scientific approaches. With this in mind, the impulse lectures are an important opportunity to approach interesting and stimulating subjects regarding a variety of current and crucial questions – from renewable energies to the tallest skyscrapers in the world. Impulse is not only the title of this series of lectures: each contribution, whatever the subjects, was really enlightening and inspiring. In addition to official occasions such as presentations and conferences that the Forum organizes, you can enjoy a continuous intellectual exchange on the highest level in a friendly and comfortable atmosphere. This is, in my opinion, the highest value of living at Oskar von Miller Forum, and also the main ambition of a cultural institution. Concerts, dinners and other events, for example the nice international evening that the students organized (including presentations, culinary contributions from all over the world!), are a wonderful possibility to get to know the other guests > at the Forum.

I would like to thank the professors, guest scientists and the students who spent the summer semester at the Forum: We had a wonderful time together and learned a lot from each other. I also thank the efficient staff for their support, helpfulness and friend足 liness. Last but not least I am especially grateful to the director Werner Lang who gave me the chance to spend an unforgettable time at the Forum.
