Call for Participants No-Image Summer School Series 2018: Network Constellations P2 P1 Berlin, 26rd July 4rd August 2018
Summerschool Series 2018 Call for Participants No-Image Summer School Series 2018: Network Constellations Berlin, 26rd July 4rd August 2018 Berlin is growing. Through and around the city construction sites are found literally at every coner. According to Berlin s Senatsverwaltung the city must construct nearly 192.000 new homes by 2030. This means over 20.000 homes per year. With such development in the city center, the available land in the heart of the city has become limited and expensive. The land prices have thus become the driving force behind increased building costs, and the most vacants inner city plots has been already densified, the future housing projects will increasingly take place in Berlin s city fringes, where large swathes of land still sit undeveloped. For an expanding city such as Berlin, these territories are crucial fronts for its future growth: they offer - in addition to its large unbuilt areas and expansion potentials - a high degree of attractiveness through green spaces and a potential lower threshold to housing for all due to lower land prices. At the same time, these areas are characterized by high spatial complexity, greater demand for mobility infrastructures and a strong social-spatial and functional separation. Long distances, often disjointed structures, and a gridlock by private transporation renders the city fringes unattractive. In reaction to the ongoing debate, with the primarily focus on the issues of housing shortage, affordability and gentrification processes in the inner city areas, No-Image shifts the focus to Berlin s city fringes, and reformulates the housing question: How can the current growth dynamics be discussed not just in terms of a quantitative problem, but as a potential qualitative matter of Berlin s city expansion? Hence, how can the housing question be thought of as an urban project - a large network constituted by single housing projects - that is constructing the future city and therefore its future qualities? Which new elements are necessary? The third Workshop of the No-Image Summerschool Series will address these issues with the agenda Network Constellations. We will frame an analysis of the spatial & infrastructural qualities and amenities of Berlin s existing peripherial areas on a territorial level. Togehter with students and international tutors we seek to identify the networks of existing qualities and potentials of Berlin s urban fringes, and understand how such fragments might be linked and recomposed through the designation of new building sites, new areas, new networks. 2 / 10
