Future of the (single-family)HOME

08. April 2024

No other form of housing is as popular, as hotly disputed and as successfully ignored in specialist circles as the single-family house. Founded on anachronistic family ideals, gender roles and concepts of ownership, the detached house is criticised for its massive consumption of materials, energy and space, accessibility by car and programmatic rigidity.
The seminar will address questions such as: How can the existing housing stock be adapted for more diverse lifestyles? and how can these outdated structures be rethought in the future? Those will be dealt with in groups of two.

When:
Summersemester 2024
Questions and applications: jan.engelke@tum.de

Professorship of Urban Design part of the interdisciplinary research cluster "ForFamily"

2024-2027

The new Bavarian research association “Family Life in Bavaria – Empirical Insights into Transformations, Resources and Negotiations (ForFamily)” started work in January 2024. The group has a four-year term and has received funding totaling 3.6 million euros from the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts.
The research cluster will study societal change and how it interacts with families. It will explore the structural frameworks surrounding families and examine the various resources to which families have recourse. Another focus will be on analyzing processes of negotiation within family settings. Special emphasis will be placed on multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary collaboration.

The interdisciplinary research project "FaGeNa" at the Professorship of Urban Design focuses on housing, urban and social research

The Subproject „Housing for Families in Community and Neighbourhoods: Practices, Resources and Socio-Ecological Transformations (FaGeNa)“ researches collaborative housing projects and neighbourhoods with a focus on families and familyextended networks. Benedikt Boucsein and Isabel Glogar will lead the project in cooperation with the German Youth Institute (DJI).

Cooperation within the research cluster

To this end, selected aspects of family life past and present will be studied in Bavaria at the University of Bamberg, the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), LMU, TUM, Munich University of Applied Sciences, Landshut University of Applied Sciences and two non-university research institutions (the German Youth Institute (DJI) and the State Institute for Family Research at the University of Bamberg). A total of ten subprojects will address sociological and cultural science disciplines.

Die eigenen vier Wände – Schöner Wohnen im Wirtschaftswunder (1960 – 1974)

21. November 2023

Defense of Jan Engelke's phD with the title "Die eigenen vier Wände – Schöner Wohnen im Wirtschaftswunder (1960 – 1974)"
Jan Engelke investigated the architectural history of the home in the social and political context of the post-war period and thus got to the bottom of its unbroken popularity, despite a widespread loss of significance for architectural practice. The magazine "Schöner Wohnen" reflects popular architectural discourses and the everyday context of architectural production at the time - a perspective that Jan used to place the ordinary at the center of his research.

Emergency Measures: Call For Ideas*Strategies*Proposals

The climate emergency, or more broadly the biosphere emergency, is not abstract anymore. Architecture and planning have been strongly involved in the development that led to the current situation, and mostly still are, directly or indirectly feeding the according narratives, or helping to ignore what is happening. But alternative movements are gaining traction, drawing strength from a long tradition of resistance and criticism in the discipline. These movements are very diverse, and they need to be, as the answers to the current crisis are everywhere and nowhere: everything about the way we live has to change, while it has to largely work with what is already there. We have to reinvent the new world inside of the old structures. And that includes studio teaching as well.

When:
