NEB-Workshop "Sharing Resources" in the Kunstbibliothek in Frankfurt Bockenheim. The Kunstbibliothek is one of the the central spatial ressources which are activated during the transformation of the former campus of the Goethe-University-Frankfurt into the new "Culture-Campus"
Our research project Large Housing Estates in Transition: Intersectional Perspectives on Residentsâ Practices and Needsis funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) for a period of three years. Through the collaboration of geographers, gender researchers, and urban planners, the project develops a comprehensive understanding of everyday life and ongoing transformation processes in post-war modernist neighborhoods. In three closely interconnected subprojects, the researchers explore everyday life on site using methods such as interviews, participant observation, and mapping. Subproject 1, led by Dr. Hanna Haag at the gFFZ, examines how households and individual residents use and shape their apartments and public open spaces in large housing estates. Subproject 2 focuses on places of community, such as churches and youth centers. How are these places used, and what do residents feel is missing? This subproject is based at the Institute of Human Geography at Goethe University Frankfurt and led by Prof. Dr. Sebastian Schipper, Heisenberg Professor of Urban Geography. Subproject 3 investigates how architecture and spatial design influence social interaction and what kinds of spatial structures support sustainable use. A key focus of the project lies on intersectional perspectives â that is, how factors such as gender, age, and social background shape usage patterns and the needs of residents.
I am pleased to be part of the publication Dilemmas of Sustainability together with JĂśrn Zitta and our contribution Wicked Problems: Dilemmas of Sustainable Neighborhood Planning. A central parameter for successful planning in the context of sustainability is the handling of conflicting goals. The concept of planning as a âwicked problem,â coined by Horst Rittel and still highly relevant today, helps us to understand goal conflicts (dilemmas) as an essential characteristic of planning and points to possible approaches for resolving them.
As part of the working group Multihalle Mannheim, I collaborated with Tatjana DĂźrr, Matthias Rauch, and Bastian Lange, among others, to develop strategies and programs for the future use of the Mannheim Multihalle in cooperation with stakeholders from politics, public administration, and architecture. I played a key role in the conceptualization and editorial work of numerous successful funding applications, including Sharing Heritage (funding volume: âŹ150,000) and Nationale Projekte des Städtebaus (funding volume: âŹ5,000,000).
As part of the research consortium EnStadt:Pfaff, I contributed as a member of the Kaiserslautern University of Applied Sciences team to the development of exemplary typologies for planning future urban neighborhoods. The research aims to productively transform the tension between new forms of work and energy efficiency into climate-neutral approaches to shaping our living and working environments. Three fields of action are central to this: the integration and definition of sustainability within architectural and urban design processes; the use of complexity and systems thinking at the neighborhood scale as a basis for design; and a shift in focus from object-based to process-oriented design approaches.

During my time at Kaiserslautern University of Applied Sciences, I worked intensively on linking the research findings from the BMBF project EnStadt:Pfaff with teaching in the architecture program. A central element of this effort was the seminar Theory and Research in Urban Planning for master's students in architecture. The seminar addresses the complex systems of sustainability and urban neighborhoods and their interrelations. Participants gain insight into methods of academic research and text production, enabling them to become experts in a specific field of sustainability-related action. Building on this foundation, the students develop typology-based solution strategies in group work as a potential planning response.
During my interim professorship at Kaiserslautern University of Applied Sciences in the summer semester of 2022, students developed strategies for the transformation of commercial areas as part of a bachelor design studio titled Learning from Hermann Hussong: Between the Pfaff District and the Railway Embankment. By engaging with the urban plans of architect Hermann Hussong for the western part of Kaiserslautern's inner city from 1919, the project aimed to foster an understanding of the patterns and functioning of the existing urban fabric. The design work focused on transforming the existing commercial structures into a mixed-use urban district. Retail spaces were to be retained and combined with complementary uses to form hybrid urban building blocks.
During my interim professorship at the University of Applied Sciences Kaiserslautern, students in the integrated master design studio âBetzenberg: Integral Densificationâ developed planning responses to the urban situation on the Betzenberg site in Kaiserslautern. The cityâs precarious financial situation and declining rental income from the football club 1. FC Kaiserslautern necessitate an upgrade of the urban environment surrounding the Fritz Walter Stadium. The project focused on a productive and creative approach to the heterogeneous urban fabric and the development of adjacent areas. Central to the design was the question of how a positive interaction between the stadium and the surrounding neighborhood can be achieved.
In June, I was part of a panel discussion on the topic of large housing estates. Following the presentation of the film â27 Storeys - Alterlaa Foreverâ, I joined Prof Natalie Heger and Heike BĂźtler, former district manager and head of the Hattersheim district office, in the foyer of the Naxos cinema in Frankfurt to discuss the topicality of serial construction and solution strategies for the housing crisis.

As part of the EnStadt:Pfaff research project, Kaiserslautern University of Applied Sciences is developing planning strategies for sustainable neighborhood development. Central to this is the integration of several sustainability aspects in open spaces, buildings and infrastructures of urban neighborhoods.
VOM STIL ZUM PROGRAMM Friedrich Nietzsche und der Deutsche Werkbund
Abstract of my dissertation supervised by Prof. Gerd de Bruyn (Institute for Foundations of Modern Architecture and Design) and Prof. Klaus Jan Philipp (Institute for History of Architecture).
The German Werkbund took a leading role in the development of modern architecture at the beginning of the twentieth century. The organisation shaped the aesthetic appearance of the reform movements in art and life by overcoming the historistic vocabulary between social reform and nationalistic hegemonic ambition.
Though the founding of the German Werkbund brought together the cultural, economic and political developments of this period with the goal of an artistically informed transformation of daily life, including the aid of the industrial production process, its early phase of existence appears, until today, as marginalized in the historiography of modern architecture - especially by the main chroniclers of architectural modernism, Siegfried Giedion and Nikolaus Pevsner.
By contrast, this study attempts to reevaluate its relevance to the development of a specifically modernistic architectural language by visualizing the intellectual processes that led to the founding of the organization and influenced their programmatic focus in the first phase of its existence between 1907 and 1914. Although the question of the origins of modern architectural form at the beginning of the 20th century, appears â even regarded from today â inconclusive, the juxtaposition of traditional and progressive forces and the resulting productive friction must be considered as crucial for its emergence.
Through the evaluation of the influence of Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy on the life and work of the artists who founded the German Werkbund and the program of the organization itself, this study tries to add an alternative view to the development of early modern architecture in Germany. It focusses mainly on the artistic individuality as a driving force for social change and as main factor in the founding of the German Werkbund.
The investigation shows that the renewal of the modes of artistic production intended by the Werkbund referred not only to Nietzsche's ideal of an artistic life, which was deeply influenced by his view of ancient Greece and the Quattrocento, but also to Nietzsche's concept of bodiliness as main resonance chamber for artistic production.
This change of paradigms, which took effect in the artistic concept of the Raumkunst, reveals an alternative origin of modern architectural production in contrast to rationalization, serialization and mechanization.
