Prof. Markus Bader
Interested in the multidimensionality of spaces, we aim to frame architecture as an aesthetic, political, social and procedural design. Working with questions based in concrete and therefore complex urban situations, we enter these situations and seek to develop within scenarios for their possible futures. The city is a community formed from potentials and ambitions. If architecture can be seen as a product of spatial and urban practice, we want to critically question its conditions and search for new agencies in spatial production.
With the assignment based studio "designing transformation: the city on the edge" we are interested in reinterpreting spaces, exploring through observation, physical presence, and performative methods, and imagining many possible futures.
