The claim of specific, trans-disciplinary and hybrid design of multilayered open spaces requires the combination of appropriate tools as means of design. Participatory urban explorations in the form of walks are used by bauchplan as a tool for analysis, and the planners refine their design ideas across all scales via analog and digital model construction. The team sees the Munich network node as an experimental workshop, while the Vienna studio complements the craft spectrum with innovative development and design research.

Rutgers Climate Bridge Panel 8: Visions for Place
Abstract
ACT NOW - The climate crisis, which is also becoming increasingly visible in everyday life, is a call to action for our profession, because more and more fields of activity are directly or indirectly referencing to our professional work. The challenge is the combination of climate-friendly open spaces with a high quality of design and the participation of the population. Using urban and rural examples, I will try to show the opportunities for us as designers.
