	:: July 2008 :: Dessau, Germany :: “Cities of Tomorrow” - CIAM Urbanism, Bauhaus Kolleg X The new Bauhaus Kolleg X will start at October 13th 2008 (Application deadline: 30 September 2008). With its program “Cities of Tomorrow” - CIAM Urbanism - 2008/2009, the Bauhaus Kolleg X seeks to reassess the international planning and urban design strategies of the 50s and 60s from a contemporary perspective. This inter-disciplinary program aims to update the planning and design strategies of the international urban Modernism in the 50s and 60s. The focus is a period in which the utopian ideas of the “Modern movement” were internationally spread and realized and influenced by a variety of local transformational dynamics. Are the core problems of international post-war modernism such as housing shortage, the population explosion, and the increasing polarisation of social groups within today’s cities still prevailing? Can a review of the Modern heritage – the yesterday’s “cities of tomorrow” – provide strategic solutions for today’s global problems? The Bauhaus Kolleg is developed, organized and conducted by Regina Bittner, Wilfried Hackenbroich and Steffan Rettich at the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation. :: bauhaus-dessau.de :: :: citiesoftomorrow.de ::

The panel discussion is based on the interventions carried out in Tallinn by the Bauhaus Kolleg. The Kolleg has investigated the case of Tallinn - Helsinki, as the idea of twin cities is still at a nascent stage of development. The artistic interventions, which were carried out in Tallinn, investigated the results of our research and questioned the effects of the city collaboration.

	:: May 13, 2008 :: Copenhagen, Denmark :: The debate “Bordercities - artistic interventions as urban planning - catalyst or alibi?” takes place at the DAC (Danish Architectural Center) with the Bauhaus Kolleg and artists from Germany and Copenhagen and Urban Planners. The public discussion at the DAC is focusing on the possibilities and risks of artistic interventions in the context of urban planning. Based on a series of public interventions in Copenhagen and Malmoe, performed by the Bauhaus Kolleg, four artists (two from Copenhagen, one from Germany and one of the Bauhaus group), a member of the DAC and a representative of the department of urban planning Copenhagen, will discuss public interventions as planning tools in the context of the recent transnational development in the Øresund.

Our interior design for the hairdresser shop “Haarwerk” opens its doors. For this shop we developed and realised an interior concept including furniture and light design.

The light installation has become a main spatial feature. Seventy-five lamps emerge from a central point of the space and reach out into the room. A cloud of lights expands through the store. With the visible wires they form a spatial texture like a distorted chandelier. The lights can be controlled and dimmed in five circles to allow a smooth transition of various illuminated conditions.

The over all organization of the store was challenged by the spatial limitation of the old factory building. To maintain a coherent spatial experience while accommodating all functional areas, we decided to “extrude” the enclosed functional areas from the back-wall. The surface of the wall “remained” on the volumes/furniture while the other surfaces “merged” with the floor. Through this manipulation we gained an articulation of the volumes in one direction and a camouflage of the volumes in elevation resulting in a simple appearance from the outside.

The materials fluctuate between a refined and rough appearance. While the wallpaper has a subtle elegance the lamps have an industrial quality. The colors articulate the volumetric logic by continuing the dark gray of the floor or the ginger marking the sidewalls of the store. The lights, when partially dimmed, combine the white of the wallpaper, the ginger of the wall and the dark grey of the floor.

:: November 7/8, 2007 :: Ljubljana, Slovenia ::

Month of Design was born from the desire to closely connect professional designers and industry. Since creating brands and acquiring professional know-how are inextricably linked to the design process, they have become the cornerstones of the annual design conference, suitably entitled this year Brands and Brains.

The lecture of Wilfried Hackenbroich has explored the relationship of identity and design by looking at principles and mechanisms in the design process and exploring the strategies of Hackenbroich Architekten and how they have employeed identity in the design process.

Lecture: Identities and design – spaces of meaning

If design and identity is brought in relation, design objects and spaces have the potential to become icons of identity. Icons are originally religious artefacts or representations, which condensate a larger “thing” into a physical form. They are objects presenting the un-presentable. They are not the content but the representation of it; icons are objects of meaning.

The issue of iconography through identities and design will be explored by three architectural projects which raise the issues of public design - contextual space; corporate design - brand space; as well as individual design - personal space.
