Dominique Peck has joined the Research and Teaching Programme Urban Design’s academic staff at HafenCity University in 2015. Being a UD alumni, his work has a focus on project management, design development and transposing formats in research, teaching and practice. Dominique was co-project managing the live project Building a Proposition for Future Activities and is now focused on his PhD Project Re-positioning Project Management in Urban Design.

Bernd Kniess is an architect and urban planner. Since 2008 he is Professor for Urban Design at HafenCity Universität Hamburg where he established the Master Programme Urban Design. He is interested in the negotiation of the contemporary city, whose planning principles he aims to diagrammatically describe and transfer into a relational practice as procedure.

Project management in Urban Design is a regime of practices in the involvement with and in projects. Where is the line between being involved and not being involved in project. Here the notion of the motive appears to offer some clarity: As a project manager you get involved in an urban situation. The articulation of this involvement in the project world allows for the structural orientation of your project work in the process. It provisionally centres what is at stake in the relation of process and product – for you and other involved actors. This interacts at all times with the assemblage of the urban situation around a matter of concern, which moves the fragile and brittle aspects of a situation into the focus of project manager, in particular so at the beginning of projects.

It is advisable that we de-psychologize the aspect of the motive: We do not see it as causal telos, but as a structural hub, a structural anchor and driver of a process. It is therefore an affective structure that brings in a vector of movement, but remains subject to change.
