Contacts can be dangerous. We have learnt that during the pandemic. But contacts are also essential for developing social entities, for constituting knowledge communities and for acting in a societally responsible manner. Compared to the systemically complex idea of networking, personal contact seems almost touchingly anachronistic. Nevertheless, its directness is also powerful and satisfying. In the post-pandemic period, the KIT Department of Architecture has deliberately increased the number of contacts both externally and internally. This is impressively documented in the recently published Yearbook 2023. This year's lecture series follows on from this. We have invited six personalities with whom we want to get into contact in order to be "infected": by ideas and positions that are themselves in contact with relevant realities and that establish contacts between inside and outside, nature and city, between concepts and realities, places and contexts.

Wie wollen wir wohnen? SKIZZENWERK Habitat sucht in der von Studierenden der KIT-Fakultät für Architektur organisierten Vortragsreihe nach Antworten auf diese offene und zugleich allgegenwärtige Frage.
Habitat als Titel und Terminus für Lebensraum definiert die Thematik des Sommersemesters 2023. Doch hierbei gilt es nicht nur eurozentrische Lösungsansätze aufzuzeigen, sondern die globale Vielfalt des Wohnens widerzuspiegeln.
Welche ortsgebundenen Anforderungen richten sich an die Architektur? Welche Gewichtung entsteht innerhalb des Entwurfs und des Büros? Welche zukunftsweisenden Ideen gibt es und wie wird sich der Wohnungsbau in Zukunft verändern?

Die Vorträge finden mittwochs um 19 Uhr im Fritz-Haller-Hörsaal, Englerstraße 7, Geb. 20.40 in Karlsruhe statt.

SKIZZENWERK ist eine von den Architekturstudierenden des Karlsruher Instituts für Technologie (KIT) organisierte Vortragsreihe. In jedem Sommersemester werden ausgewählte Architektur- und Stadtplanungsbüros eingeladen, die zu einer aktuellen Themenstellung referieren, um hiermit den Diskurs anzuregen. 

Im Sommersemester 2022 feiert das SKIZZENWERK sein achtjähriges Bestehen mit dem Thema CO-CREATION. CO-CREATION steht für die interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit zwischen Architektur und anderen Fachdisziplinen.

Wir sind müde von Projekten, deren Architektur nur dem Selbstzweck dient und möchten Projekte und Vereine vorstellen, deren Architektur der Gesellschaft einen Mehrwert bietet. Dazu laden wir Menschen ein, die jeweils einen sozialen, nachhaltigen oder gesellschaftspolitischen Schwerpunkt in ihr architektonisches Schaffen einfließen lassen, wollen ihre Sichtweisen hören und von ihnen lernen.

Die Vorträge finden mittwochs um 19 Uhr

im Hörsaal Egon Eiermann, Englerstraße 7, Geb. 20.40 in Karlsruhe statt.

Claus Sarnighausen (DE)
Seit 2013 arbeitet eine 30-köpfige ehrenamtliche Projektgruppe daran, ein selbstverwaltetes Wohnheim zu schaffen, das über 250 jungen Menschen Raum zum Leben ermöglichen soll. Aufbauend auf dem Grundgedanken des bis in die 1970er Jahre in der Heidelberger Altstadt existierenden Wohnheims "Collegium Academicum" soll ein Ort geschaffen werden, der günstiges und selbstbestimmtes Leben für Studierende, Auszubildende und Promovierende in Heidelberg ermöglicht, Demokratie erlebbar macht und dabei den kulturellen und sozialen Austausch in einem Bildungskontext fördert.
Claus Sarnighausen (*1999) studiert in Heidelberg Physik. Seit dem zweiten Semester ist er Bewohner des Selbstorganisierten Studentenwohnheims in Heidelberg. In der Projektgruppe des CAs beschäftigt er sich vor allem mit der Werkstatt, mit Strukturthemen und dem Pförtnerhäuschen neben den Wohngebäuden, das zu einem Café und Veranstaltungsraum umgenutzt werden soll.

The Karlsruhe Architecture Lectures in the winter semester 2021/22 are dedicated to the question of how architecture can contribute to the creation of a sustainable living environment. Under the title "All Tomorrow's Places", six guests from France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Slovenia, the Czech Republic/Slovakia and India will present their work. All presentations will be online and in English. The series is organized on behalf of the KIT Department of Architecture by the team of the Chair of Architectural Communication.

"All Tomorrow's Places" aims at an architecture that is on the one hand intelligent, mindful, sustainable, context-sensitive and socially just, and on the other hand aesthetically refined, imaginative and original. An architecture that creates delightful, memorable, strong and sensual places for diverse populations while seeking forward-thinking solutions to the existential challenges facing society as a whole and architecture in particular.

Lectures take place online via Zoom on Wednesdays at 7pm.

The lecture series is supported by feco, FSB and weisenburger.

Anupama Kundoo
Anupama Kundoo Architects
Pune, Pondicherry/IN, Berlin/DE

Anupama Kundoo is an Indian architect who studied in Mumbai and graduated from the TU Berlin. She says: "My work begins with and remains close to the deep human need to have purpose, refuge, and social engagement. It speaks through details; details that foster intimacy and variety, sensory and spatial. It is where makers engage with hand and mind to produce objects they are proud of, where they transform simple materials with care and intelligence into purposeful structures, where they are challenged to do more with less, and where they routinely exceed all expectations including their own." This year she was awarded not only the UIA Auguste Perret Prize for the use of technology in architecture, but also the RIBA Charles Jencks Award for combining theory and practice. This is unlikely to have been achieved by anyone before her.

Ondřej Chybík & Michal Krištof
CHYBIK + KRISTOF ASSOCIATED ARCHITECTS s.r.o.
Prague, Brno/CZ, Bratislava/SK

Ondřej Chybik and Michal Krištof founded their office eleven years ago after studying and working in a wide range of European countries. Today, the office has over fifty employees in Brno, Prague and Bratislava, is dedicated to a wide range of scales, and has made cross-border work in every sense its principle. In their view, transformation and adaptation are the central challenges of contemporary architecture: architects should take an active role in urban planning and initiate changes themselves. They have recently put these principles into practice in an impressive and exemplary way in the reactivation of the Zvonarka Central Bus Terminal in Brno, a brutalist structure from the 1960s.

Maruša Zorec
Arrea arhitektura d.o.o.
Ljubljana/SI

Maruša Zorec studied at the University of Ljubljana, where she has also taught since 1993, now as a professor. In 1999 she founded her office arrea in Ljubljana and realized numerous projects. Her work is deeply rooted in Slovenian tradition and develops out of an intensive examination of the existing, the location and the materials available. Her approach is regional, economical and sustainable in the broad sense, and it is precisely because of this that she succeeds in developing places of the highest significance and quality, which are now as much a part of Ljubljana as Plečnik and Ravnikar. Her uncompromisingly modern and contemporary work has been awarded every conceivable prize in Slovenia, but is also increasingly perceived as exemplary internationally, not least due to her participation in the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale.

David Driesen & Tom Verschueren
dmvA Architects
Mechelen/BE

Tom Verschueren and David Driesen founded their office in 1997 in the Flemish city of Mechelen and called it "door middel van Architectuur", by the means of architecture. They met while doing postgraduate studies in urban planning and heritage conservation in Antwerp, and this is precisely what characterises their work: using all the conceivable possibilities of architecture to carefully yet radically develop the existing city. The result is very different, multi-layered and explicitly undogmatic buildings that work ingeniously with different materials and find surprising detailed solutions. The aim is to create places that enrich people's lives, tell stories and open up new possibilities for use. This has recently been achieved again in a particularly convincing way with the amazing nOna Kunstcentrum in Mechelen, a building that inscribes itself in the city as if it were a matter of course and creates an amazing variety of spaces on a minimal footprint.

Umberto Napolitano
LAN (Local Architecture Network)
Paris/FR

Umberto Napolitano studied architecture first at the Università Federico II in Naples and then in la Villette/Paris. There he founded the office Local Architecture Network with Benoit Jallon in 2002, which has grown steadily since then, has been able to realize numerous remarkable projects and has been awarded many prizes. An important part of the office concept is university teaching and theory production. For this purpose, the research laboratory RAAR was founded in 2020. Umberto Napolitano himself has taught at Columbia University New York and the Architectural Association in London, among others. In 2021, the book "Napoli Supermodern" was published by Park Books, in which he deals intensively with the architecture of his home city. This highly recommended book combines reflection on his own design development with very precise analyses of the hitherto little-studied modern architecture of Naples and its relationship to the uniquely powerful historical site: "An Investigation into the power of places in our imagination", as domus writes.

SKIZZENWERK METHODIK deals with the original idea of the lecture series. The focus here is on the various approaches to design. The field of methodology can be divided into several sub-areas. From classical tools such as the drawing or the model to research and the use of digital media, there are numerous design tools.
This methodological diversity is to be illustrated in the series of lectures and in consideration of the following questions. How do the offices develop their designs, what role does drawing play in this? What considerations do they make, how do they make decisions? What role do references play, what role does history or location play?

The lectures will take place on Wednesdays at 7 pm in Zoom.

The series is supported by the Baden-Württemberg Chamber of Architects, the STO Foundation, the Landesbank Baden-Württemberg and KIT.

LRO, ARNO LEDERER
https://www.archlro.de/de
Lederer Ragnarsdóttir Oei (LRO) is a German architectural practice based in Stuttgart. Founded in 1979 by Arno Lederer, in 1985 with Jórunn Ragnarsdóttir as another owner, and in 1992 with Marc Oei as the third owner and around 50 employees*, it became the office that today realizes diverse and multifaceted projects.
The history of building plays a decisive role in this. Places are not necessarily created through architectural reinvention; for LRO it is important to examine qualities of the existing and translate them into a contemporary, modern formal language.
LRO particularly values building with brick. It is not just a matter of using an adequate building material, but also of seeking and finding a counterpart to contemporary architecture with glass.

The architectural practice Brandlhuber+ in Berlin has been run by Arno Brandlhuber as a "collaborative practice" since 2006. Strategic approaches such as contextualizing, orienting, opening and terracing are among the design methods the office uses to take a critical stance on architecture, urban society or German building regulations. Angelika Hinterbrandner works as a freelance editor, project manager and digital strategist - mainly, but not exclusively - in the field of architecture. She studied architecture at the Graz University of Technology and at the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

After working in various offices, the two architects Oliver Lütjens and Thomas Padmanabhan founded their own joint office in Zurich in 2007. In their buildings and projects, including smaller and larger residential buildings as well as some schools, they search for contemporary solutions to architectural problems in a charming way. Starting from personal references, the ideas are developed and examined for their effect on large models. Both partners have also served as assistants at ETH Zurich and, following visiting professorships at TU Munich and EPF Lausanne, have held a visiting professorship at Havard since 2020.

AFF ARCHITECTS
https://www.aff-architekten.com/
The brothers Martin and Sven Fröhlich won first place in their first competition as "AFF" in 1998. The office AFF understands architecture as something object-like. Because of this, they aimed in their design strategy to ascribe an overriding role to the use of interpretation and metaphors in the process of design. AFF's buildings always follow observations and analyses of the qualities at hand. They ask the right questions and manage to successfully adapt them to the contemporary demands of the rapidly changing architecture of our time.

Since 2016, the Berlin-based office collective c/o now has been involved in imagining and realizing objects, architecture and urbanity as much as in the editorial revision of related topics. Besides architecture, c/o now is involved in various publications. Moreover, the office is and has been involved in teaching at several institutions and formats. "c/o" contrasts the spatial with the temporal location "now". It resembles the radical pragmatic orientation towards the present as the most concrete starting point for imagining the past and future for a better being.

More detailed information on how to obtain a certificate of attendance will be provided at the beginning of each event. Due to the high demand, it takes four to six weeks to send out the certificates. We ask for your understanding.

Two online lecture series will take place in the winter semester 2020/21: In November the series "Skizzenwerk Symbiose" organized by students, in January the series "ars et architectura" of the professorships Building Theory and Building Construction.

The lectures take place on Wednesdays at 7 pm.

ars et architectura

The social reputation of architecture has undergone a dramatic paradigm shift over the last decades. While the original meaning was a craft-based occupation, such as a functionally necessary but also aesthetic engagement of man with the built environment, the profession is increasingly evolving towards service, project management or façade design.

The current increased demand for rationalization and efficiency leaves less and less space and time for the occupation with handcrafted spaces, constructions, details and joints.
The poorer this preoccupation becomes and the more digitalisation changes our professional image, the more important it seems to us to engage with the elementary values and practices of craftsmanship in teaching in order to cultivate the fundamental knowledge of craftsmanship anew.

We would like to enrich this year's lecture series with the architectural contributions of our speakers on socially relevant questions of an identity-forming, sensual architecture that is shaped by craftsmanship and materials, but also sustainable. Pointy positions are just as important as different perspectives and contradictions.

The lectures will take place on Wednesdays at 19:00.

Peter Haimerl.Architecture, Munich
Peter Haimerl
http://peterhaimerl.com/

Peter Haimerl (born 1961) is a German architect. In 1991 he founded his own office in Munich, focusing on projects that push the boundaries of conventional architecture. His claim is to design unconventional solutions and develop innovations with every project. His office creates concepts in which architecture merges with fields such as computer programming, sociology, economics, politics or art. For more than thirty years, Peter Haimerl has been developing architectural proposals and solutions under the zoomtown label that push the networking of major cities, especially on a European level.

Bezau in Vorarlberg is home to the architectural practice of the two partners Markus Innauer and Sven Matt, which they founded in 2013. Even before founding the firm, they had already realised their own projects and were making a name for themselves with their joint architecture in a clear and sensitive architectural language. For them, it is essential to fit in well with the respective surroundings and to tie in with the local building tradition. Through the consistent use of local building materials, their buildings convey not only a reduced, formal severity, but also a cheerful serenity communicated through fine details in material and form.

Architect's office Patrick Thurston, Bern
Patrick Thurston,
http://www.thurston.ch/

The spectrum of Patrick Thurston's architectural practice is broad. The office was founded in 1994 by its namesake in Bern. Building as a cultural task influences the thematic requirements, which range from constructive details to the great dialogue between man and architecture as well as architecture and landscape. In this context, architecture conditions the dialogue within the construction tasks from various fields, ranging from monument protection to cultural buildings and zoo architecture.

PEDEVILLA ARCHITECTS, Bruneck
Armin Pedevilla
https://pedevilla.info

For the brothers Armin and Alexander Pedevilla, building means consciously dealing with social, cultural, economic and ecological components of everyday life. The integration of a building into existing local structures plays just as important a role as responding to the respective temperature and climate influences. In this context, the issue of consistency becomes an important factor in planning decisions that are national or international.

SKETCH WORK SYMBIOSIS

SKIZZENWERK is a lecture series organized by students of the KIT Department of Architecture. SKIZZENWERK SYMBIOSE deals with symbiotic relationships in architecture, in the sense of living together, coming together and working together. Our built environment is shaped by diverse actors who help determine architecture, city and landscape. What is the role of architects? How is the relationship to other disciplines defined? What emerges from the various collaborations?

The lecture series in the winter semester deals with the duality of practice and science that characterizes the work of some architects. How do the two areas influence each other? Does professional practice feed on academic research? What role do different outcomes play in architectural production such as buildings and books?

MUOTO is an architectural office based in Paris, founded by Gilles Delalex and Yves Moreau in 2003. Its activities cover the fields of architecture, urbanism, design and scientific research. Muoto means form in Finnish.Muoto's work often features minimal structures made of rough materials, as a means to combine different activities, and merge economical as well as aesthetic issues. Vertical diversity as an articulation between building and city scales is a recurrent figure in Muoto's projects. The office has been rewarded by several prizes, such as Holcim Awards 2014, Equerre d'Argent 2016, and Bauwelt 2017.(http://www.studiomuoto.com/en/studio/)

Jack Self, London

I am an architect, but not in the traditional sense. Of course, I have the qualifications and experience. I am registered, and I predominantly design domestic spaces. Nonetheless, my practice is expansive, interdisciplinary and non-disciplinary. It is not, however, undisciplined. I demand from myself the highest standards of rigour and precision, while at turns resisting and indulging in inactivity and reflection. I am most at peace when in the sea on my back, observing the horizon.

'Everything leads us to believe that there exists a certain point in the mind at which life and death, the real and the imaginary, the past and the future, the communicable and the incommunicable, the high and the low, construction and destruction, cease to be perceived in terms of contradiction. Surrealist activity, therefore, would be searched in vain for any other motive than the hope of determining this point'.
Point Supreme Architects was founded in Rotterdam in 2008 by Konstantinos Pantazis and Marianna Rentzou and is now based in Athens. Their work integrates research, architecture, urbanism, landscape and urban design.

OFFICE KGDVS, Brussels
Kersten Geers,
http://officekgdvs.com

OFFICE Kersten Geers David Van Severen was founded in 2002 by Kersten Geers and David Van Severen. OFFICE is renowned for its idiosyncratic architecture, in which realisations and theoretical projects stand side by side. The projects are direct, spatial and firmly rooted in architectural theory. The firm reduces architecture to its very essence and most original form: a limited set of basic geometric rules is used to create a framework within which life unfolds out in all its complexity.

Since its establishment OFFICE Kersten Geers David Van Severen has earned a reputation as one of Belgium's most successful and renowned practices, and one of the world's truly original voices in present-day architecture.(http://officekgdvs.com/about/)

The lecture series of the KIT Department has been renamed from "Monday Series on Wednesdays" to "Karlsruhe Architecture Lectures" for the summer semester 2019.

Fritz Haller Lecture Hall
Englerstr. 7
Building 20.40
76131 Karlsruhe
each at 19:00

SKIZZENWERK is a lecture series organized by the architecture students of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Every summer semester, selected architecture and urban planning offices are invited to lecture on a current topic in order to stimulate discourse. In the summer semester 2019, SKIZZENWERK celebrates its fifth anniversary with the theme SHAPING SOCIETY.

SHAPING SOCIETY focuses on the architectural approach to social and political issues. How can architecture initiate changes in social structures and be an impulse for change in existing social structures? Can architecture exert influence? Can it connect, create added value, support, invite to participate and create balance? Can architecture be political and thus shape society?

The lectures in the series of events arerecognised bythe Baden-Württemberg Chamber of Architects as further education with the scope of1 teaching hour each for members and architects/urban planners in practical training for all disciplines.

Wednesdays, 6 p.m. in the Egon-Eiermann lecture hall.

The path to independent architectural practice has never been easy, but today young architects seem to face particularly demanding challenges. Therefore, the lecture series of the KIT Department of Architecture, following the discourse topic of the current yearbook, is dedicated to the question of how it is possible under current conditions to develop a clear architectural position in one's own office and to realize high-quality projects. Seven younger offices from Germany and Switzerland will discuss the strategies, forms of organization and approaches to content that enable them to make a relevant contribution of their own to the current architectural discourse.

The lectures always take place on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. in the Egon Eiermann lecture hall, Englerstraße 7, in Karlsruhe.

The lectures of the event seriesarerecognized bythe Chamber of Architects of Baden-Württemberg as continuing education with the amount of1 teaching hour each for members and architects/urban planners in internship for all disciplines.

Further information on the lecturers

In the summer semester 2018, the lecture series "Skizzenwerk" will again take place at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. This year, under the title "Zeitgeist", it deals with future-oriented, sustainable and interdisciplinary architecture. The lectures in the series take a look at current social upheavals and their effects on the fields of architecture and design. For this purpose, we have invited offices that are trying to further develop architecture as we know it.
The varied supporting programme of the series offers the opportunity to talk to international architects in a relaxed atmosphere.

A total of ten weekly lectures are scheduled, with a special focus on Nordic architecture and design.

The SKIZZENWERK itself, deals with a regularly recurring problem of design presentations:
Architects are forced to present their design process to clients as a linear development and the design as the only correct solution to the building task. This leads to the fact that lectures do not go beyond the status of a pure, self-confirming picture show to an expert audience and interested laymen.
The potential to communicate knowledge about the processes of creation of our built environment to colleagues, the next generation of planners and to lay people is thereby not exploited. The focus will therefore be on the everyday, the discarded variants, sketches, working models - everything that makes the special in the work of the invited architects possible in the first place.
In addition to exciting insights into the working methods of the invited offices, every visitor will therefore have the opportunity to gain a new perspective on the development processes behind the finished building and their own city.
The student body of architecture hereby cordially invites all interested parties to the Monday series (every Wednesday) taking place in the department.

The Monday series on Wednesdays is organized in the winter semester 16/17 by the Wüstenrot Foundation in cooperation with the Department of Architectural Communication. It focuses on contemporary Slovenian architecture. This is concentrated in the capital Ljubljana and has undergone an extremely dynamic development in recent years. Ljubljana, a city the size of Karlsruhe, now has a large number of young, innovative architectural offices whose work has an international impact. Fascinatingly, virtually all of the key players were educated at the local architecture department; Ljubljana will therefore be examined as an example of an architectural city in which local roots and global orientation are combined in a unique way.
