Politics, Public Space and the Arts: Strategies of Knowledge Production
Using Berlin and Jerusalem as examples, the workshop investigates the public spaces of the city, while critically analysing and devising artistic and architectural strategies for knowledge production and subsequently applying them to the city, with a focus on strategies that explore the public space and do not stop short of intervening. Partners: TU Berlin; Technion Haifa; DAAD

Regional City – Local Campus in the Metropolitan Fringe
ANCB and its partners explore the need for new working approaches and tools to understand and support the future of the Region as City. While urban areas receive significant attention, the periphery is often overlooked despite being home to a large population.

Pratt Institute | TEMPORARY URBAN PROTOTYPES
The studio investigates 21st century scales of place making. Scales of intervention today differ radically from the institution-driven urban design of the past and demand an adaptive architecture to respond to the fluid and amorphous condition of public space that constantly offers temporary public programmes that shift in scale, nature and duration. Partners: Pratt Institute
University of Sydney | Art and Architecture on site and non-site
The objective of the Curatorial Practice Intensive ‘Art and Architecture on site and non-site’ is to investigate the relationship between architecture and art in institutional and non-institutional spaces. According to the artist Robert Smithson the non-site represents an actual site. While art in a gallery often presents itself on site, architecture is mostly represented though models, drawings, photographs, and diagrams off site. Partners: University of Sydney
Edgelands and Urban Agriculture
Woltersdorf is struggling to become a place to live rather than just being a habitat for people working in the metropolis or an attractive location for weekend tourists. A challenging situation to experiment with innovative and sustainable concepts for livable metropolitan settlements.
Partners: Politecnico di Milano
Design as Politics: the next phase #9
As part of the series Design and Politics, students from TU Delft investigate urban regions under stress and develop two tools to assist spatial planning at regional scale using Berlin-Brandenburg as a case study. Partners: The Why Factory, TU Delft; Design as Politics, TU Delft; Netherlands Ministry for Infrastructure and the Environment, The Hague; German Federal Ministry for Transport, Building and Urban Development, Berlin; DutchDFA Programme; Netherlands Embassy in Berlin
MACHEN! #3. Alte Materialien neu verbaut.

The Why Factory, TU-Delft – Design Studio 2009
This studio was constructed around a series of realities brought about by the current financial crisis. The studio aimed at debating and visualising new possibilities that the crisis might open to the city of Berlin, as well as to the discipline of architecture itself. How to use the crisis as a momentum for change? Partners: The Why Factory; TU Delft
