mISSIon Statement

bates and design studios, we are dedicated to further exploring and promoting the role of our city making professions as Cultural Communicators.

For more than three decades Aedes Architecture Forum, the architecture gallery, has been exhibiting and publishing internationally acclaimed, pioneering architects and urban designers. Building upon this expertise, in 2009, founding directors Kristin Feireiss and Hans-Jrgen Commerell established the Aedes Network Campus Berlin (ANCB). Located in the centre of Berlin, ANCB draws from the manifold resources this city provides. The citys often painful and difficult, but also fascinating history has lead to a unique array of urban challenges and answers. Vast undefined spaces, and a rare openness toward temporary uses and experimentation: Berlin today can be viewed as a metropolitan

ANCB challenges experts of citymaking to tackle current urban issues. Together we redefine the key questions and create synergies across disciplines.
Increasingly, our urban environments are impacted upon as much by abstract global economic, political, social and climatic phenomena, as by tangible local phenomena. Consequently, architects, designers and planners need new tools and approaches that combine the knowledge from different disciplines and across sectors.

the city is an intense sensory affair; always lit up, always the noises of man and nature to hear, always smells to enjoy and hate. as urban populations have increased dramatically, is it time to strike a new balance between what is technologically possible and what is environmentally sustainable, functionally necessary and humanly healthy? and in that context, what is designs potential for a more conscious perception and enjoyment of these sensory surroundings?

related disciplines come together with industry, governance and the public. Together we contribute to the understanding of our urban environments and respond to the challenges we all face.
Hans-Jrgen Commerell, ANCB Director, introduces a Public Debate in the Design & Politics series

We believe the solutions for our future lie in the potential of new technologies and materials and the opportunities these advances may generate for changes in our human behaviour. At ANCB we challenge architecture and indeed also urban design and planning, as disciplines, to serve as Cultural Communicators. We raise awareness of critical urban issues in the public discourse, and we facilitate interdisciplinary processes, which are fundamental to the envisioning of effective responses to the urban challenges of our times. In our daily work, in our extensive programme of public de-

Urban mobility concerns not only modes of transportation but also the social and cultural movement patterns that they influence, both within and between urban regions. how do we examine and appreciate this interdependency? how will relationships between private space, workspace and common social space influence mobility? and how will mobility manifest itself physically in the future?

hyBRID IDeaS FoR the URBan FUtURe

anCB is a Knowledge Resource that continuously generates fresh and innovative ideas ranging from positions on urban challenges, to working methods, processes and mechanisms for city making, to detailed design proposals for buildings, spaces and products of the future city, rooted in case-studies from Berlin.

At ANCB we collect knowledge, edit knowledge, produce knowledge and we share it.
This knowledge is characterised by innovative ideas. We call them hybrid-ideas, because they result from collaboration across sectors and disciplines. As an organisation ANCB is independent, accessible and flexible. ANCB is many things to its many collaborators: anCB is a Space of alternative education for architecture students and academics from universities worldwide. At ANCB alternative approaches to designing the city are developed and tested. Our design studios focus on real urban issues and connect participants to their peers from other disciplines, thereby challenging existing habits of design. anCB is a platform for collective observation

Can designs response keep pace with desires for increasing degrees of security? and what is the impact on the overall growth of the city?

and discussion around critical issues facing the city. This platform is accessible to all urban protagonists: from residents, to professionals who are involved in making urban spaces, buildings or products, and also to all those who manage and guide city transformation. anCB is a think-tank for non-university entities that wish to undertake joint enquiries into urban and architectural topics with specialists and leading practitioners from other vocational fields, such as governance, industry, research and design. anCB is a network, both established with leading international representatives from the fields of architecture education and practice, urban design, construction and building product industry, urban governance, art and urban culture; and growing with professionals representing the social and political sciences, health, sciences, among many others.

new infrastructures are required to deal with rising water levels, sudden and torrential rain, water shortages and polluted run-off into drinking water supply. meanwhile water consumption continues to grow; water remains a cherished recreational amenity especially during hot summers and freezing winters; and it carries emotional, symbolic and mystical significances for urban residents. Design must facilitate the integration of these varying demands.

We Use Design as Our Modus Operandi For us the process itself is the key: Rather than focusing on the preparation of a refined and elegantly functioning end

Both the relentless urbanisation of the world and on-going climate changes threaten to make urban living unsustainable. At ANCB we have condensed these critical challenges into ten themes, which help to define, guide and organize our work: Heritage, Security, Migration, Mobility, Resource Consumption, Orientation, General Welfare, Sensory Environment, Water, and The Commons.

product, our approach to design focuses on sophisticated processes and methods of thinking and communication. As a multi-faceted discipline Design is perfectly suited to bringing together knowledge from diverse sources. Relying on visual information, design has the potential to synthesise, envision and communicate all at once.

The solution for the urban future lies in the closer connection of two key aspects: human behaviour and new technology.
We View Human Behaviour as Key for Change We ask questions about behaviour because we understand that addressing these critical issues successfully depends as much on changes in the behaviour of urban populations as it does on new design, infrastructure and technology. Behaviour stems from decisions, which in turn are influenced by positions, values, and desires. Governance supports certain political, social, and cultural actions that have an impact on the spatial organisation of our daily lives at home, at work, and everywhere in between.

We Learn from Berlin The study of actual urban fabric and situations generates rich insights that compliment the datasets of urban research. The global is evidenced in local, on-the-ground situations and manifested at the scale of the urban block and its typologies of buildings and public spaces. Berlin is particularly appropriate for such fieldwork. The

exciting and painful experiences that have rendered Berlins urban fabric, have made it a repository of wide-ranging ideologies and approaches to city making.

We Share Ideas and Knowledge We want to influence. We want to expose and critique the ideas and knowledge created at ANCB. Thus we record and archive the knowledge collected, tested and debated. We recall it again and again to revise it or to connect it with new enquiries, and we make it publicly available. Our archive is not static. Rather, it is a living and growing open source

We Explore the Potential of Innovative Materials and Advancements in Technologies We monitor and evaluate the potential offered by new materials and technologies. Advances in these fields continuously change architecture and design in many ways. New materials impact the way we build, and technological advances have the potential to change our behaviour: how we move through and interact within urban spaces.

knowledge-base that advances city making in terms of meaning, language and method.

We Draw from the Unique Expertise of Aedes When the Aedes architecture gallery was founded in Berlin over 30 years ago it was the first time that contemporary architecture and its urban environment were presented in such a comprehensive way for public consideration and public questioning. ANCB continues in that tradition: we be-

We Make the Discourse an Interdisciplinary Collaboration In order to be addressed effectively, critical issues must become politically relevant and to be politically relevant, the public must champion them. Thus they must be debated in an open and knowledgeable manner. We bring together the knowledge of industry, research institutes, education, politics/governance and the wider public.

lieve that traditional architecture training no longer suffices for the complexity of our urban situations. We therefore advocate for a more comprehensive view of our discipline and advance the public discourse about the future of the city.

issues our cities are facing today - and the debates indicate possible directions for our response.

The activities at ANCB fall into the following four categories:

As a Symposium My Knowledge Space: A Public Library for the 21st Century The New Berlin Library as Prototype. Prior to the competition phase for the new library on the former Tempelhof airport field, ANCB initiated an occasion in May 2011 to discuss this proposed project with the Berlin Senate for Urban Development and the Central and Regional Library of Berlin.

Urban environments play a key role in the health and general wellbeing of urban residents, from toddlers to seniors. how can architecture and urban design best ensure that our homes, neighbourhoods and entire cities help in alleviating personal physical and mental health issues? how can we alleviate collective social illnesses brought about through spatial segregation and poverty?

We need to mitigate against the impacts of irreversible global warming, while still accommodating reasonable living standards. architecture, urban design and product design must harness the potentials of innovative materials and technologies for a wiser consumption of resources energy, water and agricultural land.

Collaborative Research Our Collaborative Research brings together specialists from academia, institutes and industry, in order to explore a particular architectural or urban question. This format undertakes research over a one- to three-year period with tailor-made enquiry strategies that include a combination of surveys, reviews, debates, design-studios, and written papers. Each research process is structured into the following four steps: Observation, Conceptualisation, Presentation and Evaluation. The outcomes of each step are then collated, summarized, reflected upon and written up in a research file, which is continually added to as the research studio progresses.

Collaborating with governance and Industry City design increasingly is a collective task for many fields. Through our activities at ANCB we are continuously expanding our network and thereby adding new layers of expertise.

ANCB integrates its collaborators into a high-profile international network of current and future pioneers in city-making.

each chapter in the story of urbanisation has inherent socio-cultural and political values and customs. these are supported by both the pre-existing and the new physical infrastructure of the city. as each chapter overwrites the next and policy decides the ruins to keep and those to let go of, can the input from design become as significant as policy itself and go beyond imagining the adaptation of these infrastructures?
Collaborating with Universities and Research Institutions Worldwide Educating the Global Architect was the title of the inaugural symposium of ANCB, held in April 2009. It instigated a discussion among representatives of some of the worlds leading universities about the changing demands on the training and education of architects and indeed everyone else involved with city design in todays global context. Future strategies and approaches were discussed and foundations were laid for international and trans-disciplinary collaboration. This international collaboration is now well underway in the daily work at ANCB. Also discussed and subsequently established was the continuous exchange between participating universities. By participating in new and innovative research our projects simultaneously generate and critique ideas: in discussion with the public and with peers, in design-studios together with talented international students and passionate practitioners. Partnering with ANCB generates public exposure, both to an informed public audience and an international group of specialists. Currently 15,000 subscribers receive our ANCB electronic newsletter.

While we began collaborating mostly with universities, recent projects have included representatives from the fields of sociology, product and industrial design, health and the neurosciences. We also reach out to all levels of governance and continuously involve the public: individuals, associations and interest groups. ANCB offers a unique base for the integration of the social, the ecological, the political and the societal realm with the physical realm.

The potential of our specific approach and the early success of ANCB were quickly recognised. As a result we were invited to participate at the International Architecture Education Summit in 2011, which discussed making architecture education more relevant for the 21st century.

our orientation in cities and buildings depends on codes and clues designed into spatial form. poor design or limited user-reference hinders ease of orientation. equally, over-simplification of form can make for dull places. how should we strike the balance, especially in this era of digital navigation technologies, which arguably impact our intuitive spatial orientation skills?
