ThinkTank Architecture & Urban Development For resilient development of the built environment

In a transdisciplinary process, the ThinkTank identifies relevant influences and developments on our built environment and formulates scenarios of possible developments for construction and real estate. These scenarios serve as a basis for further decisions. This approach takes the «unknown as a basis» (John Habraken) and looks for "approaches to action in dealing with uncertainty" (Jesko Fezer).

ThinkTank Architecture & Urban Development 

Design options for resilient living space for present and future generations are developed through events and studies in the transdisciplinary ThinkTank.

Event Series

In the ThinkTank Architecture & Urban Development, various thematic event series are being held. 

The consequences for our built environment are evaluated together with experts from different disciplines, and by considering them from different perspectives or scenarios, strategies and design options for a future resilient city are derived.

«Scenarios for the City of Tomorrow»

The aim of the ThinkTank's event series «Scenarios for the City of Tomorrow» is to develop scenarios for the future city under the four drivers of climate change, migration, social inequality and artificial intelligence in a transdisciplinary and international discourse and to discuss possible strategies for action. The four major «Drivers of Change» will modify life in our cities and thus the city as a built environment. The questions are: How is everyday life changing? What are the consequences for our buildings, neighborhoods and cities? How can we transform them for the benefit of all?

«Density on the Test bench»

The event series «Density on the Test bench» deals with densification and housing development under the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic. What conclusions about densified structures can be drawn from the COVID-19 pandemic on typologies, housing interspaces and organisational structures? National and international experts from different fields will discuss based on different thematic focal points and established theses.
