Transformation of the European City [Art. 1 Cottbus Charta]
Changes in contemporary lifestyle and working life are manifested in the transformation and reorganization of the European City at the beginning of the 21st century. Current design problems are to be resolved in an historic cultural setting and in the context of complex, pre-existing structures. Transformation occurs at all scales and across multiple disciplines: measures to increase density, transform function, make additions and insertions, as well as to demolish and restructure existing buildings and urban quarters must be developed with respect to ecological sustainability. Multi-dimensional design and planning processes are integral parts of the democratic planning and architecture culture. [ http://www.architecture-dialogue.eu/ ]

PROGRAMME
Master's Thesis Symposium A.S.G. BTU Cottbus with AdK Berlin
CULTURAL TRANSFER. Consequences for Architecture & Urban Space in Europe
In the frame of the EAD Platform, the network Reiseuni_Lab debates since 2009 architecture topics in greater Europe and serves as a model and experimental field for the research based university education. The Dialogue between the universities, experts and young professionals reflect current urban questions, concerning design positions and measures to transform social and sustainable urban living conditions. The cities and regions involved – universities from Austria, Estonia, France, Germany, Israel, Portugal, Poland, Spain – have a rich, grown substance and a various and heterogeneous architecture and town planning experience within democratic and process oriented structures.
This Master’s Thesis’ Symposium represents the first of the research oriented and postgraduate Study Programme "Architektur.Studium.Generale". From 2010-2012, the students developed 8 projects in 8 different universities and cities and reflected various design approaches and methods. In the five-months elaboration of the master’s thesis, five plots refering to the workshop results, have been delved in a theoretical and practical manner under the ‚roof’ of the superordinated topic „Cultural Transfer“. The plots in Lisbon, South of Spain, Tallinn, Tel Aviv, Berlin and Cottbus are choosen for their actual relevance and the transformation options of important and / or difficult historic heritages. The tasks combine the necessity to develop new typologies of cultural identity for the cities within a gentle, cultural transfer future. More complex research questions about case studies and interdisciplinary knowledge accompanied the work.
The development of the Master‘s thesis has taken place in a studio at Cottbus university or onsite of one of the Partner Universities in Tel Aviv, Tallinn, Lisbon and Sevilla, where students worked in research cluster teams allowing them to work out an individual result within the synergy of the team work. The students have been supervised by the teaching staff, BTU V.Prof. Dr. Dagmar Jäger (responsible), Prof. Inken Baller and Prof. Chris Burns together with the professors of the Partner Universities, Prof. Irina Raud, Senior lecture Arch. Ayala Ronel, Prof. Dr. Maria Schneider, Prof. Flavio Barbini, Prof. Ricardo Carvalho, Prof. Dr. Mar Loren and Prof. Dr. Izabela Mironowicz. Professors of the first rotation and students of class 2 constitute the jury board of the Master’s thesis presentation.
