TOPIC:
The term “Learning Assemblages” coined by Colin McFarlen (2011) in his book Learning the City: Knowledge and Translocal Assemblage refers to the translocal spaces through which the city is learned. Here learning is situated not as individual process of acquiring knowledge but as a non-stop activity “intervening and generating the composition of different relations”.
During the winter semester we will focus on the relation City – Knowledge. Our focus will be not only constrained to formal educational facilities but also to informal exchange of information in the City. We will search for tactical learning strategies used to assemble and negotiate everyday urban life. From self organized educational and leisure facilities like playgrounds, skate parks and allotment gardens to urban mobilization and other forms of spatial engagement.

ORGANISATION:
Only for IUSD students. Using their storyboards and activation strategies as raw material, participants will develop - in groups - project briefs. Those project briefs will include not only classical planning proposals and object design but also potential actors, implementation phases, financing schemes as integral elements of the design.
