URBANISM AND SOCIETAL CHANGE

URBANISM AND SOCIETAL CHANGE

The programme Urbanism and Societal Change is based upon the ambitions a) to embed the architectural/urban project within the dynamic conditions of contemporary society, b) to couple research and design within the project process, and c) to train future architects as leading actors in the material production of society.

Profound societal transformations, ranging from political and economic to demographic shifts, and altered resource availability to climatic change indicate that we can no longer expect the future conditions of the discipline to be an extrapolation of the past. These emerging conditions challenge conventional understandings of urban spatial organization and the role of the architect and planner. In this context the capacity of architects to identify, understand and respond to these new conditions affecting the discipline becomes increasingly crucial.

URBANISM AND SOCIETAL CHANGE

2019 / 2020 YEAR STATEMENT

In the academic year 2019/2020 the Urbanism and Societal Change program will speculate on possible spatial futures in two different physical and conceptual settings.

The autumn semester will explore alternative urbanisms and architectures that could be deployed within the ‘window of opportunity’ following the next global financial crisis. These propositions will be proposed for the Copenhagen context, however, we will investigate other settings, including Athens, for spatial and organisational inspiration; and other historical moments, including the events following the last financial crisis in 2008, and the year 2011 in particular. The studio will ask how alternative frameworks for the city’s development might define alternative spatial and social logics.

The spring semester will explore the urban and architectural future of the ‘East Jutland urban belt’ – the so-called ‘East Jutland Million-City’ – that has developed over recent decades along the E45 highway between Randers and Kolding. Whereas the coherent regional development of Copenhagen since the middle of the twentieth century has been informed by the clear figure of the finger plan, the ‘Million-City’ has not been subject to the same planning. The studio will explore what forms of spatial planning and design could define the future of the region.

URBANISM AND SOCIETAL CHANGE

AUTUMN 2019 SEMESTER PROGRAM Previsioning Post-Crisis Urbanisms The autumn semester will explore the possibility for proposing a range of transitionary urbanisms – rehearsing coherent socio-spatial propositions to be deployed in the aftermath of the next global financial crisis, and the associated systemic crisis of societal organisation and urban development.

Project development will be based on an interplay between, on the one hand, explorations of reconfigured organizational and systemic thinking applied to a projected post-crisis society; and on the other hand, concrete spatial propositions at two of the following scales: architectural typology; block, neighbourhood, municipal strategy, regional plan. Students will be required to explore how arguments for such propositions could be articulated and disseminated.

Background investigations will address relevant historical moments of crisis, societal transformation and experimentation; as well as important relevant cases of transformative architecture and urbanism. The studio will travel to a recent post-crisis site – Greece – in order to observe, interpret and gain inspiration from the societal and spatial transformations occurring over more than a decade. While Greece will be the setting of the study-tour – as a site of spatial and organizational post-crisis – the site of the semester’s project interventions will be local: Copenhagen, where we will work with familiar sites, conditions, and local experts. The work will be conducted in dialogue with relevant public and private sector actors.

The general pedagogical approach is centred upon a feedback loop between research and design supported by a combination of studios and courses. Assignments, resulting in organizational and spatial design proposals that are largely self-programmed, are carried out at registers and scales spanning from the architectural intervention, and urban design, to the strategic urban plan. Emphasis will be placed on practices of engaging societal challenges through precisely framed research polemics and articulated design proposals.

In addition to the main research-design studio component of the semester, supporting course elements involve a range of lectures, readings, discussions, assignments etc.

SPRING 2020 SEMESTER PROGRAM Horizontal Urban Futures The Spring 2020 semester will involve an exploration of the ‘East Jutland urban belt’ which has emerged in recent decades along the E45 highway between Randers and Kolding, as a counterpoint to the nation’s leading growth region of Greater Copenhagen. The studio will address the relevance of coherent regional planning strategy and vision, in a contrasted historical and socio-spatial context, and based on a different set of conditions and challenges to those of Copenhagen’s original Fingerplan.

Students are intended to develop propositions informed by the social, political, economic, cultural, environmental, geographical, and technological contingencies of the distributed metropolitan system – reflecting on a territory positioned between urban and rural conditions of different qualities and densities. The investigations will oscillate between the scale of city regions, and regional and territorial planning strategies and visions, on the one hand; and on the other, zoom-ins into specific local settings to explore more detailed spatial and atmospheric qualities.

The general pedagogical approach is centred upon a feedback loop between research and design supported by a combination of courses and studios. Design assignments, are carried out at registers and scales spanning from the architectural intervention, and urban design, to the strategic urban and regional plan. Emphasis will be placed on practices of engaging societal challenges through precisely framed research polemics and articulate and artistically developed designs. In addition to the main research-design studio component of the semester, supporting course elements involve a range of lectures, readings, discussions, assignments etc.

The can, because they know how architecture is at the same time a building, a process, a strategy and a plan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; always inseparable from the society and the culture of which it is a part. They can, because the know how to handle the many different forms of complexities at stake in the processes of architecture and planning. The can in particular, because they can produce concrete spatial and material architectural proposals with the ability to lift a given situation to an experiential unity that is more than the sum of the parts.
