Place: ANCB The Metropolitan Laboratory, Christinenstr 18-19, 10119 Berlin
Time: Thursday, 13 Sept., 7:00 PM
The
Humboldt Universität zu Berlin is pleased to continue its collaboration
with ANCB The Metropolitan Laboratory on one of its core subjects,
mobility. ANCB and KOSMOS 2012 are endeavours dedicated to exploring and
advancing interdisciplinary enquiry. While ANCB is focussed on the
design disciplines with the city as its field of action, KOSMOS 2012 is
focused on the natural sciences and the humanities relating to
‘knowledge and design’. We regard both endeavours as complimentary and
mutually beneficial.
Public Debate
The Public Debate at ANCB
on “From Research to Design – Mobility” will present three positions on
the application of knowledge: from the natural sciences, architecture,
and art. The discussion that follows will assist the participants of the
Summer University as they move from the research to the design stages
of their projects and will draw from the experience and input of the
wider audience. The results of this KOSMOS Summer University public
debate will be incorporated into the ANCB programme of 2013.
Welcome
Dietmar Leyk, Research Manager, ANCB The Metropolitan Laboratory, Berlin
