Fusion
Public Lecture Series | Positions on Architecture, City and Landscape
Participation in the lecture series can be combined with the acquisition of continuing education points. Two continuing education points are credited for each event attended. The corresponding certificates will be sent to you at the end of the semester for a fee of 20 euros. Before each lecture, a registration form with name and address must be sent to fusion[at]asl.uni-kassel[dot]de at least fifteen minutes before the start of the lecture. During the lecture, the full name must be given on a list of participants at the entrance to prove attendance.
Last semester we already asked in the lecture series: What is the state of building culture in Kassel and northern Hesse? In the 2025 summer semester, we are now focusing on major infrastructure projects: Freeways, rail roads, wind turbines, mining, industrial estates and bunkers.
Each of these projects addresses a social need, and almost every one of them is met with protest. How legitimate are the needs, how legitimate is the protest? What contribution do the projects make to transformation and social renewal? Are there alternatives?
Each evening of the lecture series allows different actors to have their say and invites a joint discussion
Moderation and concept by Philipp Oswalt
