Urban Coding: From Closed to Lively Open Cities
Moravia Manifesto
“Wanting to plan urbanity is a contradiction in itself… The only thing possible is to offer spaces in which urban qualities can unfold.“ (Siebel 2015: 435).
Recent global sustainability agendas like the SDGs have, for the first time, clearly acknowledged that urbanisation is a key arena in which the battle against climate change and poverty, and for a more just and equitable global society is either won or lost. This is in recognition that urbanisation is unfolding to an extend and speed never experienced before, and without currently following pathways that present the perhaps gravest threats to social and environmental sustainability fuelling pollution and climate gas emission, and segmented and fractured societies. Transitioning towards sustainability therefore depends on, more than anything else, on a transformation of neighbourhoods and cities to become more inclusive and environmentally sound. Frequently, this ambition is referred to as “the great transformation”.

Zingster reloaded
The future of a prefabricated housing estate in Berlin – an interdisciplinary research project
30 years after the foundation stone of the “Zingster Strasse” housing development in Berlin Hohenschönhausen was laid, the “Zingster reloaded” study attempts to sustain-ably reload an isolated, mono-structural district on the spatial, natural and engineer-ing levels: The paradigm shift away from a functionally isolated, large-scale housing project through a more exact differentiation of spaces and programs, in order to create a “mixed-use” housing district, is now being expanded through a vision for local resource management for energy, water and nutrients. Decentralized concepts of energy technology and residential water management have become an integral part of urban planning development and left their impact on public as well as private spaces. This shift allows an attractive sphere to develop that promotes a diversified coexistence of living, working and leisure areas within walking distance and, hence, the transformation from a “bedroom community” into a “mixed-use” neighborhood.
Zingster Strasse shows: the aim should not be a pragmatic City of consensus but a programmatically and spatially demanding, affordable community geared toward the future for all inhabitants.
The concrete approach for Zingster Strasse considers urban space to be a dynamic system that brings together natural spatial functions (local water resources), circulatory resource preservation (waste disposal, water management, and energy recycling) along with social infrastructure (living, working and leisure). A strategy of sustainable urban design focuses on small-scale units within a large-scale urban structure. The transformation of buildings and free spaces provides for a revaluation of accommodations and abodes, as well as the creation of production units, agricultural areas and trading centers for urban resource management. Citizens become prosumers of energy, fertilizer and nutrition from their own gardening in a decentralized urban network, an important extension of urban design of the 21st century. On account of the housing stock, the transformation must necessarily be gradual, observing available areas and buildings.

Urban Living
Strategies for the future
Cities such as Berlin are faced with new architectural and urban planning challenges, not only on account of their constant growth, but also because of changing ways of life. Urban Living seeks to discuss future forms of urban living and to consider their design and social influences. How can residential building strengthen urban structures and provide new opportunities through densification? How can monostructures be broken up and open spaces be upgraded? And how can architecture meet the requirements of new forms of cohabitation, either owing to a broader social mix or to the combination of living and working? This book presents convincing concepts which show that affordable residential space can also have a high structural quality. Exemplary designs and solutions from the international Urban Living Workshop, which more than thirty international architecture offices took part in, provide excellent examples of the potential qualities of future residential construction.

SELF MADE CITY
Self-initiated Urban Living and Architectural Interventions
Berlin is thought of as the city of Urban Pioniers, a place where everything is possible and where space can be taken over and transformed in self-initiative. Voids and unused spaces are occupied, old buildings engaged with new program. The self-determined design of space, building, living and working, be it in the form of builder collectives or co-housing, co-op’s, co-working spaces, or other project forms, has produced an architectural diversity and quality in Berlin over the last fifteen years that is exemplary. SELFMADE CITY presents the evolving condition in Berlin, including a survey of over 120 projects, an analysis of the qualities and potentials of these projects as well as 50 best-practice case studies. Which contributions are being made in private initiative for the development of the city and what can be achieved in the future? Which methods and strategies are generating added value?
