TALK: Sandra Schuster. Zeiträume gestalten | 28.11.2024, 19:30

In der Architekturbranche ist die Implementierung flexibler Arbeitszeitmodelle noch weitestgehend unerforscht. Sandra Schuster schafft Abhilfe und wirft basierend auf arbeitswissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen und einer Analyse der Berufskultur zentrale Fragen auf: Welche Hürden stehen der Einführung flexibler Arbeitszeiten im Wege? Und wie können Unternehmen und Mitarbeitende davon profitieren?

Die Antworten darauf legen das Potenzial offen, das eine flexible Gestaltung der Arbeitszeit für alle Beteiligten hat, womit die Lektüre für Planer:innen unverzichtbare Perspektiven auf die Arbeitswelt von morgen bietet.

TALK | SPACES AND SPECIES #2 Biodiversität und Partizipation | Donnerstag, 14. November 2024, 18:30

Die dreiteilige Lab Talk-Reihe SPACES AND SPECIES fördert und vertieft die interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit zum Thema Biodiversität im Bauwesen. Gemeinsam werden notwendige Lösungsstrategien für den Erhalt der biologischen Vielfalt im urbanen Raum entwickelt und langfristige Allianzen aufgebaut.

Im zweiten Lab Talk wird diskutiert, wie Partizipation und Biodiversität möglichst früh in die Planung integriert werden können. Es wird zunehmend darauf hingearbeitet, die gebaute Umwelt als Lebensraum sowohl für menschliche als auch nichtmenschliche Spezies zu verstehen und entsprechend zu gestalten. Welche Rolle spielen dabei lokale und globale Perspektiven? Wie lässt sich vermitteln, dass Biodiversität eine zentrale Voraussetzung für das Leben von Mensch und Planet ist? Und wie überwindet man Vorbehalte bei Planer:innen und Bauherr:innen?

TALK | WATER: CURSE OR BLESSING!? #3 Actors, Approaches and Processes in the Global South | Monday, 11 November 2024, 18:30

The Lab Talk aims at raising awareness of water-related issues, integrated urban development, climate resilience, community living, resource-sharing, disaster prevention and self-sufficiency.

It will emphasise the importance of cross-sector collaboration in addressing water management challenges and explore how polycentric approaches can effectively integrate water into urban planning processes. The central role of local stakeholders in developing tailored, sustainable solutions will also be a key focus. The discussion will highlight good practices from the PolyUrbanWaters pilot sites as well as other projects in Southeast Asia.

Our Story

The Architecture Forum Aedes has become one of the most successful institutions internationally for communicating architectural culture, urban design and similar topics. Aedes strives to focus public attention on the cultures of building and architecture and to present and convey architectural visions, sustainable urban concepts, urban planning and landscape architecture. In more than 350 exhibitions and catalogues in the typical Aedes format, renowned architects and current Pritzker-Award winners such as Zaha Hadid, Thom Mayne, Daniel Libeskind, Frank Gehry or Rem Koolhaas presented their work long before acquiring world fame. In addition to 10 to 16 exhibitions per year, the dialog with outside experts and an interested public is supported by simultaneous symposia, series of lectures and discussions. Aedes was founded in 1980 by Kristin Feireiss and Helga Retzer († 1984) in Berlin-Charlottenburg as the first private architecture gallery in Europe. In memoriam Kongresshalle Berlin was the title of the opening exhibition, which became a groundbreaking success. As one of its kind Aedes served as a prototypical model for many architecture-museums and similar institutions established later. In 1985 the architecture forum Aedes West moved to the S-Bahn vaults at Savignyplatz. In 1995, under the name of Aedes East, another branch was opened in Hackesche Höfe in Berlin-Mitte by Kristin Feireiss together with her partner Hans-Jürgen Commerell. In June 2006 Aedes moved to Pfefferberg, the grounds of a former brewery in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg.
