The workshop on 4 to 5 December 2024 as part of the EU project reCITYing focuses on the interaction of urban design and arts to reactivate unused urban spaces. Participating students from the MSc Architecture and Urban Design and the BSc Architecture programmes work on the area of Lindener Hafen in Hannover, supported by inputs and reviews from all five international project partner of reCITYing: University of Genova, IAAC Institute of Advanced Architecture of Catalonia, UGM Gallery Maribor, Festival Architectures Vives Montpellier, and the Chair of Territorial Design and Urban Planning of Leibniz University Hannover @territorialdesign.
Lindener Hafen is a transport and industrial hub undergoing transformation, calling for the discovery of its potentials and of already emerging new activities. In the workshop, installations will be designed and developed to foster urban change in Lindener Hafen – linked to music. Hannover is UNESCO City of Music, its vivid music scene is linked to several cultural, social, and economic dimensions. Within reCITYing, a dialogue is established between approaches for different unused spaces in Hannover, Genova, Barcelona, and Maribor, and between different disciplines: architecture, urban design and planning, music, performing arts, land art, and visual art. One of the installations will then, in summer 2025, be realised as design-build project.
