Jubiläumsfromstellungen
The Casseler Modell 1973-2023
50 Jahre Architektur - Cityplaning - Stateschaftsplaning at the University Kassel
In 1973, the new Gesamthochschule Kassel initiated the reform courses of study in architecture, urban planning and landscape planning. The "Kassel Model" challenged outdated pedagogical concepts, institutional structures and subject content. It pursued a strong social agenda and rethought the relationship between science, planning and society. The appointment of young, innovative university professors underpinned the spirit of departure in terms of personnel as well. Kassel distinguished itself in the German university landscape as a radical educational experiment, from which numerous professional innovations emanated in the years that followed, which had a lasting influence on the disciplines. Even then, many topics were initiated that have taken on a new urgency today in light of climate change and the Anthropocene. The department is taking its 50th anniversary as an opportunity to look back on its own history with critical research in a series of exhibitions and to ask itself what relevance the experiments of that time have for us today.
CANCELLED: Wednesday, January 18 through Thursday, February 2, 2023:
Exhibition "Entwurf mit Leerstellen. Women in Architecture - Urban Planning - Landscape Planning"
The founding myth of the GhK includes equal opportunities and self-determination. However, in terms of the lack of women's participation, the university initially differed little from other universities. Nevertheless, students, secretaries and staff members immediately and continuously campaigned for a greater proportion of women in teaching and research, for fair working conditions and equal architecture and planning. The exhibition meets the "gaps" in previous historiography, the design of society, architecture and planning with a documentation of projects and initiatives that have been handed down in the doku:lab, the documentation and media workshop of the department.
January 17 from 6 p.m.
Exhibition opening
We would be delighted if you would take the opportunity, after an introduction and an initial tour of the exhibition, to join us in an open discussion about the past, present and perspectives of women in architecture and planning.
The exhibition will be on display in the foyer of the ASL New Building through February 2, 2023.
