In times of change, there is a need for new ways of working between planners, architects and engineers to develop solutions with, and for a society in transition. The boundaries of the professions must be overcome in order to develop integrative solutions. To ascertain relevant issues, working progressively with appropriate networks to find solutions and rooting them in society offers enormous potential to achieve the necessary change. Learning, and not teaching is paramount for everyone. Sharing knowledge, easing up and rethinking what has been learned – design as a resource that is further transformed by the team and leads to projects and prototypes.
At the TU Berlin and the University of Kassel, self-determined groups of students work in transdisciplinary teams on questions concerning the city and buildings of the post-fossil, post-consumer society. The Learners Lab serves as an exchange of relevant content and above all the discussion and testing of self-determined learning formats.
