When Conrad Schumann left his post guarding the Berlin Wall, choosing instead to throw down his rifle and make a leap for Western liberty, he became more than just a symbol of Cold War defection: he became the first Latent Urbanist. Seizing opportunity in an increasingly inhospitable city, he redefined the way we engage with our urban environments. He demonstrated how small, carefully considered action, enacted where the fabric of our cities are most fragile can have the most potent consequences.

While looking out from Shannon airport terminal it seems strange that we seldom look upon airports in the way we did and sometimes still do, as harbours, connected as they are to distant places, while being places in themselves, intimately connected to and impacting upon their immediate environment.

On 9 November 2007, the German parliament, the Bundestag, decided that the Federal Republic of Germany would erect a Memorial to Freedom and Unity in remembrance of the peaceful revolution in the autumn of 1989 and the reinstatement of Germany's national unity.

Universidad Iberoamericana, Mexico City
5-23 July, 2010
With Form rather than Program as the main tool for the understanding and intervening in the existing condition, this unit is essentially an investigation of Form through Form. The testing round for this investigation is located (in order to also engage the broader ANCB discussion on Demarcations)on the River Spree Waterfront in Kreuzberg, specifically on an inner island neighbour to Baddenschiff. The projects seek to transform this space into cultural endeavor(s) and in doing so find how architecture can engage with local discourse.

The Why Factory, TU Delft
18-29 April 2010
This unit by The Why Factory, TU Delft aims to brainstorm possible future scenarios in a complex urban setting using innovative representation means. Berlin provides a multilayered fabric which reveals its historic depth but provides flexibility for urban innovation.

Design2context, Institute for Design Research, Zurich University of the Arts ZHdK. Postgraduate students from the Design Cultures (MAS) programme take part in a transdisciplinary studio led by Rudi Baur (Graphic Design), Vera Kockot (Cultural and Visual Studies) and Clemens Bellut (Philosophy). The working title of the studio is " What would a culture of political representation look like in Design?"
The studio takes place in the context of a parallel internal ZHdK research colloquium with guest lectures by Simona Mahrenholz (Berlin), Julia Vogel (Berlin) and Sophie Prinz (Berlin).

METROPOLITAN IMPRINTS BERLIN - NEW WORKSPACE ARCHITECTURE IN HYBRID ENVIRONMENTS. What does it mean to work in cities today? This research studio analyses the contemporary city’s daily work-life conditions and considers a re-organization as a means of manifesting the future city.

Berlin’s reputation as one of the most creative cities in the world has resulted in a recent boom of 'creatives' moving into the city from all over the world. This in turn is triggering the emergence of new developments in the city, much as German reunification triggered a development boom in the '90s. These new developments are making significant changes to their urban contexts and are impacting massively on the demographic character of each district.
This task of this unit is to explore how the original and distinctive character of the area around the former Wriezener train station can to be retained in the architecture of urban design of once such new development-a prototypical 'cultural station' for Berlin’s creative and experimental minds, a place to meet and join groups for sport, events and public discussions.

This workshop coincides with the 60th birthday of the Berlinale. It explores the notions of registration, representation and transformation of architectural space through motion media such as film/video and digital animation techniques.

BERLIN WALLS: The history of the Berlin Wall, its demolition and consequent developments prompt us to take a closer look at Berlin's less noticed urban borders. Borders created by big roads, railway lines, waterways as well as specific sites like the Zoo and the government area. In the Tiergarten area (West City) we find a cluster of borders dividing areas of significant spatial and social diversity. This raises the question as to which of these should be kept, removed or bridged.

AA Berlin Laboratory
4-12 September 2009
AA BERLIN LABORATORY: AA Berlin Laboratory is an intensive workshop that explores modes of creative production and their manifestations in the city. Using Berlin as a field for investigation and intervention, it aims to trace the complex relationship between cultural production and the city. The role of experimentation is at the core of this inquiry.

LIQUID LIFE: Berlin's urban setting is seen as an open field where relationships amongst communities can be understood as a continuous process. The transformation from solid to liquid modernity has created a new and unprecedented setting. Adopting four distinct media, Students and professors from UEM developed proposals for urban reconfiguration along the River Spree in the socio-economically charged context of Berlin's Kreuzberg.

2059, 50 YEARS AFTER THE CRISIS: This studio was constructed around a series of realities brought about by the current financial crisis. The studio aimed at debating and visualising new possibilities that the crisis might open to the city of Berlin, as well as to the discipline of architecture itself. How to use the crisis as a momentum for change?
