Hafen City University Hamburg<\/a>\u00b4s Gesa Ziemer<\/a>\u00a0is Vice President Research at HCU and heading the MIT CityScience Lab in Hamburg.The two-day summit \u201ecities without\u2026<\/a>\u201c was a very good opportunity to get to know the work of the Hamburg lab, but the other labs as well. The remarkable program<\/a> offered a lot of opportunities to rethink the impact design and designers can have on cities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One thing became obvious in the very first moments: city research is a driving force and brings together various disciplines. It is the perfect context for interdisciplinary work. It is supported by a variety of communal, federal and global organizations. It is highly relevant as more than 50% of the population living in cities. And it is for sure a topic to be adressed by design, a topic where design can contribute to interdisciplinary processes and unfold new potentials.<\/p>\n

The keynote speech of Lord Norman Foster presents his approach from lightweight and circular economy based architecture – both in his studio but also with his foundation. The foundation works with communities in India and South America to design very specific ways of less formal, in heterogenous practices of informality, settlements with various notions of autonomy (in terms of infrastructure, energy but also political and economical). In his experience the co-creation of the settlements and buildings could build on a high level of visual literacy.<\/p>\n

Gesa Ziemer and Kent Larson agreed that the real change will take place where local communities act. The exchange of those practices, their discussion and reflection can then unfold potentials in other communities and potentially a global level.<\/p>\n

The following 4mins lightning talks gave insights into (mostly) research practice in different cities of the world and went up to the systems level when for example Joelle Pianzola shared her work about algorithms matching refugees with the cities where the best matching for employment (immigration policy lab Stanford \/ Z\u00fcrich).<\/p>\n

All in all it was a very good start to open personal dialogues and prepare for the workshop sessions on the second day.<\/p>\n

The second day was designed as a workshop day, with 3 sessions (challenges) in 9 different spaces, and additional spaces or tours outside the building. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At the end of the day, each workshop presented the outcome in a joint session with 4 slides in 2 minutes\u00a0 followed by a<\/span>\u00a0closing discussion. All charts were compiled in a publication available – just at the end of the day.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"scoped_notify_notify_others":"unknown","footnotes":""},"categories":[4573],"tags":[4588,4584,4590,4591,4589,4581],"class_list":["post-59","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-conferences","tag-cities","tag-cityscience-lab","tag-hcu","tag-mit","tag-summit","tag-tongji"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaces.kisd.de\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaces.kisd.de\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaces.kisd.de\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaces.kisd.de\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/30"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaces.kisd.de\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=59"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/spaces.kisd.de\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":80,"href":"https:\/\/spaces.kisd.de\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/59\/revisions\/80"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spaces.kisd.de\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=59"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaces.kisd.de\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=59"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spaces.kisd.de\/global\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=59"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
