Vernissage at 6pm in CORE Oldenburg.

Our exhibition brings together student projects exploring how soil health, water systems, food cycles, biodiversity, and everyday infrastructures can become agents of spatial transformation. Working across urban environments such as Oldenburg and rural territories along the North Sea coast in Lower Saxony, the projects investigate how design can contribute to a regenerative transition beyond the scale of individual buildings.
The work asks a fundamental question: What if urbanism did not begin with land use, zoning, or growth, but with the damaged ecological relationships that make inhabitation possible in the first place?
In this perspective, soil is not merely ground, water is not only infrastructure, and food is not simply supply.
They become spatial, social, and political media through which new forms of coexistence can be imagined - between human communities, non-human species, productive landscapes, and fragile coastal ecologies.
Regenerative urbanism is not a stylistic agenda. It is a shift in responsibility: from designing objects in space to designing conditions for life to recover, adapt, and flourish.
