Dear Friends of architecture and colleagues in architecture!

To those interested in diversifying the profession ... Come on board - with DiVIA - Diversity in Architecture ().
This is a new Bi-annual award for women practitioners, founded in Germany by Dr Ursula Schwitalla (art historian and author of Women in Architecture) and Christiane Fath, and putting out feelers for nominees worldwide with an illustrious advisory board. With Francesca Ferguson as one of the trustees, we hope to help co-create the discourse that will accompany the award - together with some wonderful compatriots - along the way...
So do take a look, become a member, and - should you be in town - join us on April 6th in Berlin, at the DAZ to toast the next stage in DiVIA’s development!

RE_MAKECITY : Prozesse und Strategien des Stadt-Andersmachens; ein Trialog.

Diese Woche - im Rahmen des Städtebautags des WIA - Women in Architecture Festivals
"Weibliche Perspektiven inklusiver Stadtentwicklung"

Francesca Ferguson diskutiert mit Julia Erdmann - Architektin und Gründerin der Agentur JES, und Nicole Srock-Stanley - CEO und Gründerin der Dan Pearlman Group im Trialog

Prozesse und Strategien des Stadt-Andersmachens
Die Krise der Innenstädte wächst; Einzelhandelskonzepte scheitern. Der gestalterische und strategische Prozess, eine besondere stadtgesellschaftliche Konstellation von Gewerbe, Kreativwirtschaft und Unternehmen aufzustellen; eine Co-creation für Bestand und Leerstandsflächen zu erzeugen, bedeutet besondere Expertisen die über die viel besprochene Rolle eines ‘Kümmerers’ hinauswächst und sich derzeit stadtpolitisch entfalten.
Wir erläutern und fokussieren unsere Perspektiven zu der neuen Rolle der Prozessgestaltung für 'Stadt andersmachen’.

WANN: 19. Juni, 14:45 - 15:45
WO: Im Festivalzentrum der WIA - Der Feldfünf Raum im Metropolenhaus
