As architecture journalist, in reaearching + teaching at Leibniz University Hannover, I´m interested in intersections architecture creates with other disciplines and how to communicate space in various ways. Architecture (MA) + Visual Sociology (MA) studies lead me to ask questions about social interaction in processes of spatial change, recycling of existing spaces + collaboratively realized inventive + performative methods to integrate in the process of design + spatial transformation.

Inventive explorations of cooperative architecture


Urban Bricollages as medium, tool and discussion format, reflecting new design modes

Inventive explorations of cooperative architecture


Urban Bricollages as medium, tool and discussion format, reflecting new design modes
Creating visual and narrative expressions to transmit the cultural capacity of complex urban situations "as found", their potential as future habitats and the agency of urban designers inbetween practice and theory.

Type of project
  • New alliances

"Cooperative Architecture" combines thoughts on the changing role of architects/urban designers, the composition of urban spaces and networks concidered as references for imagining future habitats, and the perspectives on/ narratives of them, experimentally transmitting social and spatial qualities

As part of a larger research framework, here working with visual + narrative expressions, creating cinematic mappings, visual collections or site-specific written approaches on topics of cooperative architecture in selected case studies is in focus. These design modes dealing with complexity are examined while reinterpreting and communicating the performative character of existing urban situations, making them speak. The so emerging inventive explorations – material-based examinations using the field site + space "as found" as departure for imaginaries – are urban bricolages that foster a care-taking action + critically reflect on how space is designed and disussed further.

Urban bricoleurs in action

Urban Spaces, on which the field research an material collection has been undertaken.

First Conceptual approach and material selection on one example (Liverpool).
