This year, the Department of Architecture - Urban Planning - Landscape Planning at the University of Kassel celebrates its 50th founding anniversary. This is an occasion to look back and to look forward. While a series of exhibitions is dedicated to exemplary retrospectives, the lecture series FUSION in the summer semester 2023 combines these retrospectives with outlooks: What were the reform approaches of the 1970s and what do they tell us today? What innovations in design education address important challenges of today?
Kickoff on April 12, 2023
In celebration of its 50th anniversary, the ASL Department has donated a plaque in Halberstadt's Burchardi Church, where John Cage's organ piece ORGAN2/ASLSP has been performed since 2001. The plaque to 2623 takes a quote from Lucius Burckhardt in 1982, from his time on the faculty, which acknowledges the benefits of the unfinished and the ruined:
"The unfinished, already ruinous, represents the opposite of those `clean solutions' which, always orthodox and always leading to disaster, destroy our world." (The Smallest Possible Intervention, 1982).
In the event "Solutions are the problem - a controversial discussion 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 in a controversial way and also address the question: What do we think about planning today?
The event will be broadcast via Zoom:
