From urban development to urban redevelopment. Strategies for spatial transformations.
Britta Schümmer, Associate Partner at ASTOC, will be a guest at the Osnabrück Building Culture Talks on 23 May 2024
The Osnabrück Building Culture Association is focussing the 2024 Building Culture Talks on the topic of urban transformation with its buildings and infrastructure. With the transformation of the 15.5-hectare Magnum site into a diverse, mixed urban neighbourhood, Osnabrück has a reference project in its own urban area. After winning the competition, ASTOC ARCHITECTS AND PLANNERS together with GREENBOX Landschaftsarchitekten have been commissioned with the realisation.
Britta Schümmer, Associate Partner at ASTOC, will be a guest at the Osnabrück Building Culture Talks on 23 May 2024. A series of current projects, including the Magnum site, will be used to show how strategies for the successful transformation of urban spaces can be designed across all planning scales.
Existing buildings are always both a challenge and an opportunity, and the transformation of existing buildings and neighbourhoods has always been part of planning and building culture. Not only due to increasingly scarce resources, it has recently become the focus of current building discussions. Transformation in planning is closely linked to political and social goals - such as space and resource-saving construction, the establishment of circular economies, the use of grey energy and adaptation to climate change. These goals are not only achieved with the actual construction project, but the course is often set in much earlier planning phases.
Thursday, 23 May 2024, 6 p.m., Verein für Baukultur Osnabrück e. V., Felix-Nussbaum-Haus, Lotter Straße 2, 49074 Osnabrück.
