Project description
The seminar "Urban Landscapes - mapping approach within large scale planning processes" deals with the "Raumbild" as an informal spatial planning instrument in large-scale and regional contexts. "Raumbilder" are images based on cartographic methods, revealing complex interrelations, networks of actors and processes of change within a region with the goal of describing possible futures for regional developments.
In particularly the students looked at the rurban landscape of Gehren, a small town at the foot of the Thüringer Wald mountain ridge. After a first impromtu spatial image of Gehren and its surrounding, the students analysed reference Raumbilder from applied planning processes. Both this theoretical and practical reflections were joined in the final production of Raumbilder for Gehren in which the students opened new viewpoints and creative future scenarios for rural Thuringia.
