Urbanity is a promise. Henry Lefevbre already described the right to participate in urban achievements in the 1960s. This is not a purely sociological question, but also concerns the work of architects and planners. Designing spaces, whether in new construction or in repurposing, means having an influence on the common life in the city. In this seminar we will systematically analyze urban quarters of the last 100 years in terms of the relationship between proximity/distance, green space/street space, private/public, interior/exterior, openness/enclosedness. To do this, we will examine basics such as site plans, floor plans and elevations as well as the social background of origin, ownership and influence on climate and translate them into a scientifically sound database. You will summarize your results in a self-designed publication according to the chosen topic. Two of the blocks will take place in Eisenhüttenstadt and Leipzig. The first city exemplifies an ideal planned city created from scratch. Leipzig stands for the radical transformation of a formerly heavily shrinking decaying city, in which bottom-up projects and appropriation processes play an essential role in urban development.
