abstract: 100 years ago began the optimistic architecture modernists; promising and ambitious settlements to design for a large number of people. They wanted to invent the new residences and at the same time receive the growing population rush to the cities. The remaining examples of urban mass accommodations serve as a portent and warning. But, it there after still no answer: Where should just stay all the people coming to the cities around the world? The need grows on council housing and growing help in Mexican, Indian, Chinese megacities the people already own and construct their living room with their own hands - anarchic, chaotic and in terms of hygiene, safety and beauty far removed from the normal standards conceived as Western cities. But can we really allow us with the usual mixture of disgust and curiosity to look on these developments? Which new forms of living there, what it needs and what it means living at all for the people? Which question of the appropriate and affordable housing for all arises today new, day after day, in the midst of City. Let's talk about hives, hills, houses!

abstract: In Germany the building of homes has become significantly more expensive. High land costs at the focal points of demand, rising standards and planning processes have in the recent years led to a significant rise in prices of housing costs. At the same time, especially in the metropolitan areas, much more affordable Housing needs. Therefore, the cost and quantity is often on a housing policy and flat economic challenge reduced and whatever the architecture and the long-term urban planning discussed. Which concepts and frameworks needed economic housing? What standards are necessary? Are the building density and the living area the only screws for cost savings? Accept Users unusual solutions?

abstract: The "Alliance for Living in Hessen" launched a process which should lead to a sustainable development of residential areas in the Hessian cities and towns and more affordable housing. Residential construction is a highly complex process. It must be considered legal, financial, social as well as ecological aspects.

abstract: Residential architecture is often only the spatial expression of the common denominator of different interests. They should last, but also be affordable and meet different tastes, generations and health states alike. It should reassure investors following the rules, saving energy, respecting the conservation and bringing happiness to the residents. Not infrequently, the end is just a non-consensual architecture that does not hurt anyone but neither does anyone really happy. This could be different if the architecture is not just a fulfillment of social norms by reflex, but negotiating, modifying and surpassing. In this sense, the conference program "Anders Wohnen", which includes six idiosyncratic positions of contemporary architecture, defies the rules and formats establishing new experimental fields and exploring what can be done .

abstract: Housing is a basic need that is still not covered or which is inadequate for many people in all regions of the world. Architecture and urban planning can make a decisive contribution to finding new solutions to ensure the supply of housing for all. The challenge for affordable housing is, above all, to put the costs and the resulting housing quality in an optimum ratio. The way forward depends on many parameters and local cultural influences. Against this background, not only theoretical approaches will be presented, but the example of outstanding residential building also demonstrated strategies to create affordable housing. It is through the analysis of the projects in the economic, social and urban context where these strategies are comparable. Welcome and Introduction _Prof. H.

abstract: Frankfurt Lord Mayor Peter Feldmann and associations initiative "Impulse for housing - HESSE " have agreed to work together to accelerate the development of housing in Frankfurt. The initiative, 16 organizations have joined forces . They represent architects on the construction industry to investors and tenants' association the entire value chain in residential construction in Hesse

abstract: In collaboration with the Academicum College, the International Exhibition of Construction of Heidelberg (IBA) organized a workshop based on efficiency. The aim is to clarify both: theoretical questions, such as those relating to the planned development of a self-managed residential home efficiently life, economies and building in the South of Heidelberg.

abstract: Vacancy cadastre, land use: Urban densification in a Changing Climate During the past decades it has been often responded to the demand for housing with the expansion of settlement areas. This practice has many disadvantages: natural areas or agricultural land is destroyed and increases the volume of traffic. Sustainable future quarters can only be achieved by increasing the density of existing urban structures. These must weigh in with the quality of the environment affected carried spatial, legal, economic and social issues. Drexler Guinand Jauslin architects have been working for many years with the development, planning and implementation of infill projects in the inner city area. In the development of a prototype for densification in Frankfurt, the ecological, economic and socio-cultural benefits of infill solution compared to a conventional suburban design in an accompanying research project, Minimum Impact House 'have been extensively studied.

abstract: Housing is a basic need that is still not covered or only insufficient for many people in all regions of the world. Architecture and urban planning can make a decisive contribution to finding new solutions to ensure the supply of housing for all. The challenge for affordable housing is, above all, to put the cost of living and the resulting value in an optimal ratio. The way forward depends on many parameters and local cultural influences. Against this background, not just theoretical approaches are presented, but the example of outstanding residential buildings also demonstrated strategies to create affordable housing. It is through the analysis of the projects in the economic, social and urban context, these strategies are comparable. The main question is: how can different approaches to the creation of affordable residential be transferred to regional specifics.

abstract: To implement innovative concepts for energy-saving housing was the aim of the pilot project launched in 2007 "e% - Energy Efficient Residential" the Supreme Building Authority. It should demonstrate that subsidized housing with good architecture and low energy and resource consumption feasible in the actual modernization of residential areas in the 1950s and 1960s such as the construction of new settlements energy saving and efficiency worldwide. Four years after the public presentation of the concepts, the Wohnprojektetag Bavaria in 2014 now before the pilot measures completed. Have they redeemed claim to be not only energetic and ecological model for future-oriented projects and affordable housing, but also to meet urban spatial, social and built environment standards?

abstract: Three professors from the Department of Architecture at TU Braunschweig - Volker Staab, Rolf Schuster and Norbert Fisch - organize a symposium on "Sustainable design". But the organizers contend rightly already in the announcement with the choice of words: "There is hardly a term that is now used at the same time as inflationary and imprecise, as the concept of sustainability. Often reduced to the purely energetic, often exploited as a purely technical problem misunderstood or as a marketing tag, it appears not only imprecise in meaning, but often unfair in its application "And again:". To put this blur something on the body, to his aim and motivation of this event. Our interest is to discuss the possibilities of sustainability, which can already be seen and to explore in the design phase. "

abstract: In a two year research project, the result of which are presented in this lecture, Hans Drexler and Sebastian El khouli have analysed concepts, strategies and methods for designing sustainable residential buildings. Sustainable design is not a merely technical problem. Sustainable design can be most successful if it accomplishes to bridge the gap between the cultural role of architecture and its technical requirements. To the SB13 Munich conference three of those strategies for design ‘holistic housing’ would be presented: • Minimum impact: Reduce the impact on the build an natural environment • “Less bad is not good”1: Building as a complex cradle-to-cradle design approach • Built utopia: Planning as a systemic and process oriented approach with the aim of contextualizing our build environment

abstract: The need for acceptable living standards for the economically weaker segments is the major topic at the Affordable and Sustainable Housing Conference in Münster. This is the point of departure for a boader field of research looking at both urban design strategies and the construktion of prototypes related to mass housing.

abstract: Vast achievements in the field of sustainable building habe been made: A variety of targets, aspects and criteria habe been identified that constitute important building blocks of a comprehensive understanding of sustainability in the field of architecture. Assessments and evaluation systems have been developed that help to analyse designs and buildings. Still missing are strategies that could be used to integrate the targets in the design process. In a two year empirical research project concepts, strategies and methods for designing sustainable residential buildings habbe been gathered and analysed. Sustainable design is notmerely a technical problem, rather it can be most successful if it accomplishes to bridge the gap between the cultural role of architecture and its technical side. For this reason, the study focused on the design potential that could be derived from the following questions: . What are approaches and strategies to meet the diverse and sometimes divergent requirements of sustainability in architecture? . Waht methods and tools can be applied in the early stages of the design and planning process for new and existing buildings to be planned holistically in order to optimize the design in terms of sustainable construction? . What is the role the context(in the broadest possible sense of climatic, Structural, cultural and social context) plays in respect to the design? . What are the advantages and disadvantages arising from their implementation?

What can be done, not that the recreational needs are met mainly in the city and the traffic continue to increase? And how can promote sufficient user behavior and thus the resources and energy consumption can be reduced? The 3rd Congress city energy transport provides a multi-perspective view of the challenges of the compressed construction. Different perspectives of different actors can be linked and discussed new practical approaches. The Congress for the first time conducted bilingually - all lectures will be translated simultaneously.

abstract: Since the post-war building boom between the economic miracle and the oil crisis the built residences, schools, colleges and churches get on in years. Is not only for economic reasons why often the demolition of a rehabilitation is preferred. What makes dealing with this Architecture difficult? Conditions under which they originated and where are their strengths? With what attitude to approach this architect Task? Do they cope with the architecture of the "formative years"? 15.

abstract: In How Do You Landscape? the broad subject of landscape is illuminated by different disciplines, different places and different time conditions. On the occasion of launching a new Master Track the chair of Landscape Architecture at TU Delft established a public lecture series on landscape and its place within science, art and design in 2010. As the newly appointed Professor of this Chair Dirk Sijmons is continuing the series with a new accent for the year 2012. This year we are heading for profound questions of our discipline of Landscape Architecture. We would like to concentrate on the subject of nature and culture. Are these antagonists in constant struggle or is it their eternal harmony we may establish in landscape? A selection of scientists, artists and designers are reflecting fundamental questions about landscape ranging from the most fundamental scientific questions of nature to the most inspired artistic answers of culture. We would like to Involve global scope and without forgetting your local roots as two ends of the fundamental questions of human present in the landscape. How Do You Landscape? Lectures are open to students of all faculties, staff, professionals and interested visitors free of charge. After two Lectures of 45 minutes a member of the chair will lead an open discussion with both speakers and the audience. The series is hosted by Prof. Dirk Sijmons and his chair of landscape architecture and coordinated by Daniel Jauslin (D.T.Jauslin@tudelft.nl).

abstract: 20 Images à 20 seconds Pecha Kucha Night, invented by Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham, was invented in 2003 in Tokyo to make a platform for designers jugne, networks and show their work in public. But as we all know, give a designer (especially an architect) a micro in hand and you're stuck for hours in a time trap. The key of the Pecha Kucha Nights is a patented system to avoid this trap. Each speaker be allowed 20 images, each shown only 20 seconds - 6 minutes 40 seconds of fame before the next speaker comes. This keeps presentations concise, the high interest of the audience and gives more people a chance to occur. Pecha Kucha has (Japanese for chatter) satisfies a need for an occasion to show creative work simply and easily, can not rent a room or need to talk to a journalist. This need seems to be global - as Pecha Kucha Night has virally without advertising and printing spread over 110 cities around the world.

abstract: Passive house technology as the basis for energy-plus building In recent years, the debate has in the area of energy-efficient construction of a preoccupation with energy-efficient buildings to energy-obtaining back Buildings moved. The concept of the passive house was compared to the activhouse. This involves not only the energy consumption but also about to develop an architecture that not only conserves resources and is energy gaining, but is above also dynamic, inspiring, atmospheric, relish and is enthuse. These themes are only at first Opposite view and are actually together but linked: A building can only be a surplus to produce energy when needed and be systematically is systematically reduced. It is a comprehensive energy Simulation, as with the passive house project planning Package possible, is a suitable method.

abstract: Paper Presentation Conference Day 4 Location C 8:30 - 10:00 The Delft approach to Landscape Architecture is characterized by theories, methods and techniques converging towards design research and research by design. This paper aims to introduce this particular methodology. The introduction to the interrelated research domains is illustrated with examples from research and education establishing design research and research by design as two opposed projections through one lens. The development of the research domains of design research and research by design and their variables are crucial for understanding of the formative elements behind landscapes and for the development of planning and design methods and strategies. These research domains cannot be seen apart from each other: design research is an indispensable step in research by design. Together they constitute a heuristic approach for knowledge based and creative design. Knowledge of the landscape form enables us to test the transformations for an insight into the physical qualities of the place. http://www.iasdr2011.org

abstract: During the spring semester 2011, the New Master Track Landscape Architecture at the Faculty of Architecture TU Delft hosts its third public lecture series, cultivating reflection on our educational and scientific position in an international context.
Starting April 2011, speakers from different professional backgrounds and with contrasting approaches are invited to reflect on the meaning of LANDSCAPE in their work in a series of monthly lectures. The focus of this 3rd lecture series is on the approach of memories that build up the many strata of LANDSCAPE, versus an ideas-based approach - arising from and connecting back to memory. The series will reflect on the history and evolution of life forms and landforms in wilderness and culture. The speakers will explore the role of humans in an ever-changing LANDSCAPE.
The lectures and discussions take place in the landscape architecture design studio. They are open to students of the faculty, scientific staff, interested professionals and the general public.

abstract: The unique Landscape Theatre Ferstival Oerol on the Island Terschelling in the Wolrd Heritage Waddensea will be 30 years old in 2011. Oerol has the important ambition to further develop the interesting form of temporary landscape art. In light thereof this year, the festival will formulate the starting points for a long term programme for landscape art. To place these ideas in a broader context, Oerol has approached a number of partners: the Waddenacademie, the Technical University of Delft, CBK Drenthe, Keunstwurk Friesland and the Drachten Smallingerland Museum. In co-operation with these partners, Oerol organized a three day seminar during the festival titled 'Beauty and Brains'. During this three day seminar, held from Thursday the 17th until Saturday the 19th of June, Oerol engaged partners and special guests in a meaningful discussion and chart the possibilities for the development of land art, focusing on the relationships between landscapes, the arts and science.

abstract: Contemporary architecture has been strongly influenced by the concept of landscape in recent times. The landscape analogy that accompanied architecture for a long time in tectonics or ornament is now transforming the concepts of form and space. The landscape analogy has moved from marginal subjects to the core of the discipline. We are looking for principals of architectural theory, which can not be derived anymore from an big predominant ideology. What framework for architecture do we still need in the more or less lucky freedom of our time? We might want to use the proposed exercise of knowledge transfer to rediscover some basic principles. A study of landscape as a means of architecture could lead to such a basic theory, not derived from any ideology nor adopting philosophical terms to a practical field. We prefer looking in our own backyard, enjoying the freedom of thoughts about our own subject matter.

abstract: The Minimum Impact House in Frankfurt am Main is a sustainable solution for low cost living in city centres - a prototype typology with a minimal footprint on a leftover urban space with a bottom-up approach. The planning process itself became part of a scientific study. In a comparative study we compared advantages and disadvantages of a single-family house in the centre versus new building zones. This included qualitative an quantitative comparison over a life cycle of 50 years with construction, running, maintenance, disassembly and location related mobility. DGJ found out that in conventional construction the running uses about 50% of the primary energy, the rest is divided into the modules fabrication and mobility. The total energy use of the prototype is 63% lower than the compared conventional new building under existing rules. The climate-change effect could be reduced by 68% per housing unit.
