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.

One way to be propositional with an urban design mode of thinking is doing a Project Archaeology. It might be helpful to revisit the modules project archaeology and Notation to get a more prolific understanding of what doing a Project Archaeology enables us to do. In this last video in the E-learning arrangement project management in Urban Design we’d like to focus on the form the project has been transposed into in the process of doing a Project Archaeology.

List of Archives: folder register, the self-build wall in the container, research paper and presentations, minutes, logs, seminar work, competition entries, application documents, newspaper articles, films, hard drives with raw data such as films, photos, drawings, mappings, scribblings, scans of field journal entries …

Archives here are fields for storing and organizing data. They cannot be regarded as final results. So, how can we learn being propositional with archives?

As a project manager, how can you determine when you have enough knowledge to complete the current phase and move on to the next?

There is no exact measure for this. If in doubt, however, reinsurance with the project motif will help. Do you still recognize the motive formulated at the beginning in the current status of the project? Do you have to update the motif and articulate it again to all stakeholders, or have you even lost sight of it altogether? A motif always works provisionally. It will also never come to the situation that you have complete information density. However, the representation of the motif and its potentials in the future must be comprehensible for all currently involved and still involved actors.
