If one follows current planning debates, temporary uses are often presented as the first steps toward revitalizing vacant properties. But what happens when the period of temporary use is over? How can vacant properties continue to be used collaboratively in the long term for the common good?
Inspired by debates that have taken place over the past two semesters—particularly during field trips—a group of teaching assistants has come together to create a space for this discussion through this seminar this semester. In this seminar, these debates will be continued and enriched through best practices and literature reviews.

The goal is to develop a concept for the process and organization of the long-term, community-based reuse of a formerly vacant property for the common good, which will also be presented during the Rundgang exhibition.

The reading list for this seminar includes texts by, among others: Mark Fisher, Gabu Heindl, Mara Verlič, and Andrej Holm

It is possible to take this seminar as either 3 credits or 6 credits. If you choose the second option, you must write a seminar paper at the end of the semester.
