Symposium ‘Great Streets of Today: How the conversion can succeed’
The exhibition and the accompanying events ‘immer modern! Berlin and its Streets. 200 Years of Architecture, Urban Planning and Engineering for Berlin’ were kicked off on 5th September with a symposium on the topic of ‘Great Streets of Today: How the conversion can succeed’ at the Kronprinzenpalais Unter den Linden.
Symposium ‘Great Streets of Tomorrow: Berlin after the mobility, climate and energy transition’
Following the first symposium on 5th September on the topic of ‘Great Streets of Today: How the transformation can succeed’, the AIV organised a second conference on the ‘Great Streets of Tomorrow’ shown in the exhibition and on questions of future mobility.
‘Great Streets of Tomorrow: Proposals for the transformation of the metropolis’
The ten participating planning teams of architects, landscape architects as well as transport and infrastructure planners will present their designs and answer questions from the audience.
The exhibition shows photos by Mathilde Tijen Hansen, Maximilian Meisse, Andreas Rost, Peter Rathmann and Michael Wesely and is intended as a contribution to the exhibition ‘immer modern! Berlin and its Streets.
How can the architectural and urban development of a city like Berlin be documented photographically? How do photographers stage street spaces as places or non-places? What characterises successful architectural photography?
How can climate-neutral urban neighbourhoods be built? What role does sustainable urban development play? What approaches are there for innovative mobility concepts?
The initiator of the exhibition, Tobias Nöfer, together with Prof. Dr. Harald Bodenschatz, the curator, presented the publication accompanying the exhibition.
The event highlighted key factors as to how the spatial qualities of streets can be further developed under today's traffic and environmental requirements.
Is there a threat of collapses in Berlin like the Carola Bridge in Dresden? How can tomorrow's bridges be planned and built flexibly and in a way that is suitable for transport utilisation?
We city dwellers love squares. Many are currently being made fit for the future. What design concepts are being applied? How will the quality of the respective spaces be improved? What are the effects on road traffic?
