The current pandemic is unsettling us on many levels. Financial crises, climate change, democracy and filter bubbles, Black Lives Matter and the threat of resource shortages. The fragility of the world, our individual finiteness and the unpredictability and limited ability to influence developments are now becoming directly tangible. Globalisation as an economic quest for efficiency and the risk assessments of our actions are up for discussion. Digitalisation is progressing in leaps and bounds. And it has a major impact on our mobility, our coexistence and our forms of work.
How does all this affect our space? On the city, the agglomeration and the villages? And what challenges and consequences will this have for future construction, e.g. for education, health, work, leisure, culture and housing?
At the same time, we are looking for and testing new forms of dialogue, mediation, exchange, teaching and learning in this series of talks. How can we exchange ideas in a binding analogue and/or digital way and how can we design places and spaces for dialogue in the future? And how can we make these dialogues available as "living archives" in the long term? To this end, we will conduct the dialogue and presentation formats in different ways.
