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 film first shows the course of the Project Days. About 60 participants - refugees, students, trade students, clients from the Inclusion sector at f & w fördern und wohnen and neighbours of the Ohlendieckshöhe construction project in the Accommodation with Perspective Living programme - come together one year after the first Summer School on the publicly accessible parking lot in front of the InfoPoint – three stacked containers. The area of the large tent erected for this purpose corresponds to the area of the building window of the future community building: twenty by twenty metres, 400 m2. The project days begin with a simple breakfast and are organized as a series of Doing Rooms, Resonance Rooms and Reflection Rooms. The project day leader makes an introduction round in the first resonance room, introduces the existing materials and introduces the first Doing Room: Lunch. The participants meet in mixed groups along the activities of the organization of the common lunch, discuss their activities, coordinate with other groups and go to work. Two stool cookers are assembled, Doka boards and roof battens are screwed together to form shelves and kitchen furniture, the water supply is secured, ingredients are stored, chairs and tables are arranged, the arrangement of the stool cookers is improved during operation, after about 100 minutes the participants of the project days meet for the first time at lunch.
Several cameramen and people can also be seen, whose gaze keeps switching back and forth between what is happening in the room and the notebooks in their hands: they are all “accompanying researchers” who are responsible for documenting the process. Once the Project Days are over, the architectural programme developed and displayed there in practice will be part of the call for entries for the planning competition starting next Monday.
The terms “NACHBARSCHAFT”, “SPORT RADWEG”, “WALD” and “WIESE” have been written with tape above the transparent windows of the large tent. They refer to the adjacent functions of the planned location of the Community Building, which is located about 300 meters away from the parking area. In the corner between the “SPORT RADWEG” and the “Wald”, some participants of the “cinema group” erect a projection screen made of construction foil and roof battens. The beamer borrowed from the university will later show a selection of short films on the subject of architecture and use. Before the cinema evening, the project day leader gives a take: To re-enter into the play on the second day of the project days, she asks all participants to bring along things from their everyday lives. These things are epistemic in character, they contain insights into what the actors want to find again in the programme of the future community building, they define the themes of the forthcoming Doing Rooms and thus make it possible to negotiate the programme at the round table. At the table, representatives of the individual rooms (room for intercultural education, stage, workshop, kitchen, table tennis and darts room, lounge, etc.) will negotiate the arrangement of the rooms to each other and in relation to the qualities of the outdoor space marked with adhesive letters. At the end of the negotiations, the result will be transferred from the table on a scale of 1:100 to the floor of the large tent on a scale of 1:1 and checked again in a tour concluding the project days.
