Craftsmanship in the Digital Age #4: Alternative Sketch to Site Processes
The digital era enables new structures for managing communication in the building process, like BIM. These frameworks involve manufacturers of building components and facilitate closer communication between architects and the production of finished components.

Technische Universität Braunschweig, IDAS & University of Pennsylvania | Productive Berlin
Architecture students from TU Braunschweig worked with their peers from the University of Pennsylvania in this one-week intensive immersion in the field. The workshop was accompanied by lectures, discussions and fieldwork and concluded with a joint presentation of the resarch work and design scenarios envisioned by the students. Partners: Technische Universität Braunschweig, IDAS & University of Pennsylvania
Craftsmanship in the Digital Age #3: Resetting Values for Architecture and the Building Industry
The third discussion explores societal issues impacting architecture practice, with a focus on factors like cost efficiency and energy performance. Digital fabrication presents an opportunity for closer collaboration between manufacturers and architects, allowing for the reintroduction of critical craftsmanship values in building practice. .

SPACE ON DEMAND
A dialogue between Elizabeth Diller, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, New York and Chris Dercon, Director Volksbühne Berlin, on the occasion of the exhibition opening SPACE ON DEMAND.
Craftsmanship in the Digital Age #1: Architecture, Technology and Materiality
The opening discussion examines the relationship between design, materials, and digital technology in architecture. Manufacturers of ceramic and concrete components contribute to the exploration of material qualities and the potentials of digital fabrication.

Museums and Cultural Spaces
ANCB conceptualised this international symposium accompanying the exhibition V.D.H.N. URBAN PHENOMENON at the Russian Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2016, to critically reflect on the role of museums today. Partners:Ministry of Culture of the Government of Moscow
Museum Revisited
The kick off Lab Talk of the programme Museum of the 21st Century, which examines the relationship and interaction between museums, urban space, culture, economy and society. Partners:Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau
DANIEL LIBESKIND and TIM RENNER talk about Berlin
Daniel Libeskind and Tim Renner talk about their positions on the state of Berlin, now and in the future.
The Politics of Practice-Orientation
With urban and environmental challenges at the forefront, the need for innovation in built environment education has become common knowledge, prompting discussions on curricula, educational practices, and the politics of practice-orientation. Partners:TU Berlin; University of the Witwatersrand Johannesburg, University College London; Urban Lab+
PARTIZIPATION MACHT ARCHITEKTUR
Without citizen's participation, hardly any major building project can be implemented. People do not just want to be informed, they want to actively participate and users' knowledge about spaces is indeed a valuable tool for architects in the design process. The book presents what successful participation can look like.
