Meet two of the foremost art and architecture collectives, Germany's Raumlabor and France's Collectif Etc, for a discussion of place, local networks and methods.

Here is really a good opportunity for anyone who works site-specifically and in dialogue with local communities. At this mini-seminar and associated workshop, partners from the design studios Raumlabor and Collectif Etc will share experiences and discuss methods in relation to working close to local contexts and social networks. How are people involved, how are local resources used, how are needs identified and how are solutions tailored, etc.? First there will be talks with the two design studios and then a workshop and open dialogue. The conversation will be moderated by researchers from KU Landscape and there will be examples of student work from the Urban Intervention Studio course, KU. The event marks the start of a longer site-specific collaboration with Raumlabor, Collectif Etc, CAFx and a number of partners in Copenhagen.

Participants: Architect and partner in Raumlabor, Axel Timm, architect and partner in Collectif Etc, Lukas Hamilcaro, researchers and landscape architects, Landscape Architecture and Planning, University of Copenhagen, Bettina Lamm & Anne Wagner, students from Urban Intervention Studio University of Copenhagen, Area Renewal Copenhagen Municipality.

The event is a collaboration with the Goethe-Institut Dänemark, l'Institut Francais, Area Renewal, the Municipality of Copenhagen and the University of Copenhagen.
