Regenerative Urbanism

The Chair of Regenerative Urbanism is responsible for Teaching students of the Department of Architecture in the Architecture and Urban Design program, both at Bachelor and Master level.
At our chair we combine research and design to advance regenerative development in the region (and beyond). In our Research, we apply expert knowledge, scientific methods and strategic analysis to develop recommendations and solutions for current and future challenges.
The research focus of the professorship is a) Territorial Regeneration, b) Digital Transformation and c) Biosphere Soil. We work together on an interdisciplinary and international basis and attach great importance to the participation of various stakeholders from research, administration, practice, business and associations.

Vision and Mission

For the climate transition, building transition, mobility transition and soil transition to succeed, settlement areas must not be viewed from a purely technical urban planning perspective, which has attempted to dominate nature since the modern age. Instead, we need to understand the natural ecosystems and their dynamics as essential guard rails for the transformation of the urban-rural continuum.

The Chair of Regenerative Urbanism emphasises close cooperation between science, practice and municipalities in the sense of transdisciplinary and transformative spatial design approaches. With publications, exhibitions and research projects, we contribute to the forward-looking, regenerative development of places and cross-border regions. We work in diverse interdisciplinary co-operations and in exchange on a local, regional and international level.
