Echoes of Resistance—Exploring Informal Urban Landscapes
Technical University Lübeck, Winter Semester 2024/25, Seminar
Lecturer
“Echoes of Resistance” comprises two distinct analyses: the first, entitled “Design Research Archive,” is a personal inquiry, while the second, “Collective Urban Narrative,” is a professional group analysis.
In the individual research dossier, personal impressions are documented on a deep dialectical level in relation to a selected structure of the settlement. Building on this, the in-depth and critical group analysis addresses a collectively chosen theme and a specific case study. At the end of the semester, findings from the case study are presented through a chosen medium, reflecting on the relationship between emergence and permanence while advancing one’s research practice in both analytical rigor and communicative articulation.A major focus of this seminar is on research ethics and the critical interrogation of urban contexts, with particular attention to the frameworks and presentation strategies employed.
With an input session by Dr. Ayham Dalal, German University Cairo (GUC) and a site visit to LU´UM in Hamburg. Guest jurors: Silvia Gioberti (Guerilla Architects) and Tarek Megahed.
