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.

The space of the archive cannot be regarded as a neutral container in which data is stored, it has to be regarded as material that can and must affect new readings. In Hans-Jörg Rheinberger’s (2010) terms, the material of the archive remains "between the epistemic objects and the knowledge processes bound up with them" (245). An archive is produced by a heterogeneous process. In this process a sedimentation and densification of knowledge takes place in iterative loops. Any way of working with archives demands what we call a Project Archaeology – retroactively and recursively re-integrating and re-assembling the material in new processes and takes of producing knowledge. This is also a spatial process. Not only do we consider the urban as an assemblage to be re-assembled, also the space of our archive while being produced is a matter of re-assembling, re-ordering and re-arranging material. Thereby the condensation effects of the notations are re-worked in new processes of condensation creating manifold obligatory passage points (OPP) (Callon 2006). At each OPP re-assembling the archive, new patterns of the doingness aspect of Project Management in Urban Design become visible. At the same time one has to take into account that the archive is an open form. To work structurally then also means that processes of knowledge can be traced back in their development. The recursivity and retroactiveness not only propels new ways of creating knowledge, it also enables to go back in time to past OPPs in order to re-investigate heretofore unseen potentialities.

Christopher Dell talks about visual-spatial forms of reasoning. Through the analytical integration of notations, the performative effects of project archaeology also become objects of design in the project, which influence the experience and use of space by human perception beyond the purely visual. In practice, hybrid forms of work dominate. The recording of a certain state plays an important role: as an expression of a plan, rendering or analysis diagram, results can be documented or fed into new revision rounds (Ammon 2017, 414). Step by step, individual aspects of the project are explored, framework conditions are checked, dependencies are tested, scenarios are tested, consequences are played through and potential partial results are repeatedly questioned anew. After endless iterative loops in the elaboration, the design finally stabilizes itself with a high degree of detail.
