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.

Reflecting in action results in widening the disciplinary boundaries. The summer school situation neither only consists in theory nor does it end with a final design as closed form. Instead, it is a field of experience that enables 'the parties to rethink and evaluate their own assumptions and practices' (Tuana 2013). Being confronted with real tasks—such as assembling for a mini golf lane, for displaying an exhibition, for a community party—the actors engage in a process that only in facing reality’s contingency clarifies one’s "own epistemic stances to the members of their and other epistemic communities" (Madanipour 2013). These epistemic stances can then become 'potential connectors for successful (interdisciplinary) collaboration' (Madanipour 2013). The scientific community’s request to give interdisciplinarity "substantially more space to practice communities" (Moulaert and Cassinari 2014) is put on a stage of transdisciplinary collaboration that enables the participating parties to coherently reconfigure the given situation. What takes place on this stage, however, is not the performance of a scripted, preconceived play. The curricular setting of an improvisation structure is the condition to open up disciplinary knowledge, so that it enables working constructively with the contingency at play.

What does option paralysis in Project Management in Urban Design refer to?

Type your answers here ...

Reveal answers

Project managers speak of option paralysis in situations where the contingency of a situation limits or halts all operations in a project entirely. It is often a sign of inability or unwillingness of one or more project managers to process the interplay of the current state of affairs. Option paralysis is best used to organize a reflective review with aim to look at how the project has gotten in this situation in order to learn for its future projections.
