Description

In recent decades, co-design and co-production working methods have been increasingly developed and tested in planning and architecture as an alternative approach to spatial production. These are still individual pilot projects. At the same time, the question of promoting this approach in education is being discussed and projects are being carried out in various living lab settings.
The roundtable will demonstrate the range of these practice-oriented educational approaches. The aim is to shed light on different aspects and to relate them to each other and to the "classical" world of planning and architecture. These range from the confrontation with practice right from the start of the projects to an active relationship between theory and practice. From working methods, organizational forms and structures, responsibilities in project work and laboratory operations. From inter- and transdisciplinarity to openness and flexibility in teaching across university and institutional boundaries. From dimensions of collaboration in design and research. And last but not least, a new type of public-civil cooperation as a "third mission" in education through direct cooperation with communities, civil society or the local economy.
The roundtable will collect project examples, discuss structures and methods, tactics and strategies, and network interested stakeholders with the aim of strengthening co-educational approaches.
