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.

Column A

On the eve of the project days, all the actors responsible for the organisation and the process came together for a final meeting and a few short rehearsals. It quickly turned out that some framework conditions had to be maintained over the two days in order for the project days to work. The column about column A tells you what these rules are all about.

About column A

Hannah Arendt names spatial framing as the substantial prerequisite for the realisation of all actions. “Before the action itself could even begin, a limited space had to be completed and secured within which the actors could then appear: the space of the public sphere of the polis” (Arendt 2016). A large tent measuring twenty by twenty metres served as the spatial framing for the project days. The size of the tent corresponded to the dimensions of the permissible building window of the future meeting house. The tent was situated on the south-western part of the building site. This position had already proved to be a convenient contact point for the neighbourhood during the Summer School 2016. The tent stood opposite the Support Structure built during the previous summer and was visible from all sides due to transparent sheeting. During the preparatory days called Setting the Stage, the participants had already built a ramp so that the slightly higher wooden platform could be comfortably reached.
On the right side of the entrance there was a wooden display on which the playing rules could be read in large letters, printed on DIN A4 sheets:

1) The performance facilitator names the rules, watches over them and advises on their compliance.
2) Each session contains one action in a group, in one place, according to one rule.
3) The pitch is limited to the area of the tent.
4) The playing field is the place for action.
5) Everyone acts as an individual and in a collective.
6) Everyone has three roles: sender, receiver, observer.
7) Choose a group. A group constitutes a place.
8) Stay in the group you have chosen for the duration of one play session. Contribute to the group as long as it makes sense to you. As soon as this changes, ask yourself: a) What does it need in the team? b) Am I required somewhere else in the field?
9) Each group respects the duration of the session, which is determined by the performance facilitator.
Onlooker-rule: Whoever enters the field is part of the play.

The rules formulated here make the first attempt to structurally frame the actions on the formally empty playing field. These rules thus set the first organizational frameworks for the improvisational actions. Speaking of rules and framings, introduces the distinction between the open and the closed form into the design of the planning process.
