This year, the Department of Architecture - Urban Planning - Landscape Planning at the University of Kassel is celebrating its 50th anniversary. This is an occasion to look back and look forward. While a series of exhibitions is dedicated to exemplary retrospectives, the FUSION lecture series in the summer semester of 2023 combines these retrospectives with a look ahead: What were the reform approaches of the 1970s and what do they tell us today? Which innovations in design education address important challenges of today?
Kick-off on April 12, 2023
To mark its 50th anniversary, the ASL department has donated a plaque in the Burchardi Church in Halberstadt, where John Cage's organ piece ORGAN2/ASLSP has been performed since 2001. The plaque for the year 2623 takes up a quote from Lucius Burckhardt from 1982, from his time at the department, which acknowledges the advantages of the unfinished and the ruinous:
"The unfinished, already ruinous, represents the opposite of those `clean solutions' which, always righteous and always leading to catastrophe, destroy our world." (The smallest possible intervention, 1982).
In the event "Solutions are the problem - a debate about Lucius Burckhardt", members of the ASL department, including Gabu Heindl, Harald Kegler, Jens Knissel, LESS:ON, Dagmar Pelger and Ariane Röntz, will discuss Lucius Burckhardt's statement controversially and also address the question: What do we think about planning today?
The event will be broadcast via Zoom:
