Urban Seminar - Evolution of Berlin's Urban Morphology - Master-Bereich

Lehrinhalte :
The city of Berlin has faced a recurrently changing past with numerous ups and down in its history; loaded with economic success and crises, social conflicts, wars, revolutions and extreme political changes. Accordingly, the city has experienced expansions and growth, destructions and division, shrinking and degradation, regeneration and upgrading and many more. Accumulated over the passage of time, each of these periods of history left its footprint on the urban structure of the city. While together they contributed to the collective transformation of the city and shaped what is now considered as a distinguished character of the urban morphology of Berlin. The knowledge of urban morphology assists us in reading and comprehending these layers of history and their impact on the urban and architectural characteristics of a city to be utilized further within the process of city making. Seminars will provide a general introduction to the fields of urban design, urban rehabilitation and urban morphology as well as the process of a scientific study which will further serve as a basis for the focus on studying the urban morphology of Berlin. Moreover lectures covering the unique urban development process of Berlin will better illustrate the diverse social, economic and political situations of its different times and periods. Seminars will build an extensive platform for the eventual final project on the comparative urban analysis of the urban morphology and architectural typology of Berlin against the individually chosen case studies from other parts of the world to be undertaken by you, the students, during the semester. Common excursions to Berlin are also planned as part of the program, yet students are required to convey individual field studies during the semester in order to get better understanding of the site. Goal Students will be able to explore the city and its urban structure through studying its comprising urban elements, the relationships between those elements, as well as agents and processes of its formation and transformation through time. They will also be able to conduct urban mappings and site investigations as analytic tools to apply within comparative studies of a scientific process.
