Participation Procedures for the Expansion 3.0 of the ZK/U 2052 – Part I [3]
Public Workshop
ZK/U is currently commissioning so-called fact-finding committees with the inquiry into the needs and requirements regarding the building’s future usage. In the framework of the second fact-finding committee, ZK/U is currently looking for heterotopic uses and places that are relevant for the 21st century and that can help shape the future of ZK/U. Underlying this inquiry is a planned spatial extension of ZK/U’s building.
Fact-finding committee #02 focuses on the question of how climate change could affect ZK/U as a socio-cultural place, and what role ZK/U could play in the face of climate change. Speculations about ZK/U’s future needs and demands revolve around 29 February, 2052: the day on which ZK/U’s current leasehold ends.
In a three-hour public workshop, twenty recommendations for the ZK/U will be developed. The results of the workshop will be part of a publication, which is to be released by fact-finding committee #02 on 21 and 22 February, 2019, as part of the OPENHAUS PLUS at ZK/U.
Everyone is invited to think of ZK/U in 2052!
The workshop will be held in English.
The workshop is organised by Robert Preusse and Stefanie Rau.
