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.

Doing, being active and action – in the broadest sense of the words, present the most powerful capacities of agencies. It is regarded as an unlimited quality. However, does that mean that there is unlimited space in the sense of an unrestricted field of action? Isn’t space being produced because there are limits to it? Does space define itself by areas that cannot be considered as space?
In a very basic understanding of space as: What can be done where – and defined as actions producing space. According to Hannah Arendt, space is something that comes to existence due to its limits. Arendt understands space as fields of originally unlimited action. However, that does not lead her to an idea of anything goes.

“Bevor das Handeln überhaupt beginnen kann, (muss) ein begrenzter Raum fertig- und sichergestellt werden, innerhalb dessen die Handelnden dann in Erscheinung treten (können), der Raum des öffentlichen Bereichs der Stadt (Polis), dessen innere Struktur das Gesetz ist; der Gesetzgeber und der Architekt gehören in die gleiche Berufskategorie. Aber der Inhalt des Politischen, das, worum es in dem politischen Leben der Stadtstaaten (geht), ist weder die Stadt noch das Gesetz – nicht Athen, sondern die Athener (sind) die Stadt (Polis)” (Rehm 2008, 30).

She understands space as the realm of interaction in a specific constellation of space and time. Space and space are hence not identical. Space exists only because it is limited - in both a structural and an ideal sense. It is the very product of human interplay.

“Weil sich der Handelnde immer unter anderen, ebenfalls handelnden Menschen bewegt, ist er niemals nur ein Täter, sondern immer auch zugleich einer, der erduldet. Handeln und Dulden gehören zusammen. (…). Es gibt kein auf einen bestimmten Kreis zu begrenzendes Agieren und Re-Agieren” (Brand 1971, 30).

Nevertheless Arendt stresses to be aware of the concept of space as produced and as potentially unlimited. Practically though, the production of space as a result of human interplay always has to be understood as something taking place, as an ersatz-activity.

The fence displays what's what. It must be there, because HBauO § 14 calls for a security measures of all building activities. Consequently the fence marks the spaces for professionals – on the inside – and laypeople – on the outside. However, the fence can actually be moved, project managers can have agreements on how and where a transfer is manageable. What is clear here is, that in case anything happens, those who moved or jumped over the fence, will, most likely, be on their own.
