The fourth event of the architecture dialogue series focuses on everyday architectures, questioning whether we value these designed environments as potential knowledge spaces and what we can learn from them in terms of architectural culture. Partners:Bundesstiftung Baukultur, Potsdam
Cultural institutions have an educational mission, but their full potential as public spaces for learning and knowledge transmission is not always realized; the third event of the dialogue series explores how these spaces can adapt to changing needs, foster communication, and contribute to society, with a focus on the role of architectural culture.

Integrated Urban-Rural Planning and Governance
In China, and many other countries across the world, rapid urbanisation processes have produced unevenly developed landscapes made up of urban growth centres and disadvantaged hinterlands. The first international conference within the framework of the Sino-German research and development project Urban-Rural Assembly (URA) takes this as a starting point towards a global exploration of the political, ecological and social relevance of integrated approaches in urban-rural planning and governance.

Recovery Spaces
ANCB’s ten-year anniversary symposium examines what positive influence can the design of spaces and surroundings have on the recovery process of the people and societies affected and, in general, what can space-making contribute to a better and healthier living environment around the world?

MIT & TUB | Migrating the City: Designs and Strategies for User-Driven Habitats
The workshop, involving students from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Technische Universität Berlin, challenges Berlin's post-1990s 'critical reconstruction' by proposing a vision where inter-community groups lead projects that address immigration, human mobility, and economic opportunity. Partners: Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and TU Berlin
Lab Talk Series: MOBILISING THE PERIPHERY
Urban peripheries - such as informal cities, barrios and suburbs - are typically perceived to present only great challenges. With this five-part series, ANCB and the Schindler Transit Management Group stimulate new ways of thinking, to question the given preconditions of current development and to initiate a discourse on urban realities at the periphery. Four types of periphery, exemplified by four case studies – Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, China and Europe – in connection with participation and social justice are discussed.

Rural Moves
The revitalisation of rural areas has been neglected for a long time not only in China, but also in Europe and worldwide, and has consequently given rise to big socioeconomic and political challenges. Aedes has identified built examples in Songyang (China) that provide fascinating impulses for the discussion regarding the improvement of rural regions also in Europe.

MOBILISING THE PERIPHERY #4 – Focus Latin America
