Spatial and Territorial Development
Spatial Development is the product of the interplay between territorial and functional
logic. On the one hand there are the targets, objectives and actions of
state-bound politics. On the other hand there are those who boost (economic)
development coupled with the resultant location requirements and investments
in the knowledge economy which manifest themselves spatially in a functional,
network-like logic. The convergence and overlapping of these two types of logic
spawn both stimulating incentives and conflicts. From a socio-scientific and
topographical perspective we regard these phenomena as being constitutive for
research, tuition and the provision of services in an architectural faculty.
National and private approaches need to be analysed from the point of view of
their mutually dependent, functional framework, which leads to different spatial
analysis levels. The Chair focuses its attention on metropolitan regions of European
dimensions, in other words on “mega city regions”. Metropolitan regions
are considered to be the key catalysts for a country’s competitiveness. They form
the interface between global networks and local, innovative milieus in the
expanding knowledge economy. In mega-city regions it is the management and
control function, the gateway function – Munich Airport, for example – and the
innovative function that play a crucial role.
Analysis on its own is not enough to design sustainable residential and business
areas in metropolitan environments. What is needed is process-based interaction
between awareness, products and processes. The creation of a problem and protagonist
awareness is the prerequisite for developing suitable measures and
solutions (or products) in individual, sectoral or thematic fields – to be followed
up by the selection and development of appropriate regulation processes for their
implementation. Analysis, visualisation and communication should be understood
as methodical modules in this supply chain. In the context of varying perceptions
of metropolitan regions they are the key to a viable, long-semester
development programme for these areas.

Der interaktive Workshop „UrbanReset – Potenziale
für München“ entwickelt neue Problemsichten
und Aufgabenstellungen für den Hauptbahnhof
München. Der Bahnhof als Stadtmaschine des
19. Jahrhunderts ist neu zu denken für das 21.
Jahrhundert. Verkehrsinfrastruktur und Gebäude
sind nur eine Dimension der Potenziale dieses
Ortes. Der Workshop weitet den Blick auf die Einbindung
der umliegenden Stadtviertel, die Schnittstellen
im öffentlichen Raum und die funktionale
Neuaufladung des Verkehrsknotens jenseits von
Shopping.
The interactive workshop „Urban reset – potential
for Munich“ developed new problematics and
challenges for the main station. The station as a
‘city machine’ of the 19th Century needs to be
rethought for the 21st Century. Transport infrastructure
and buildings are only one dimension of
the potential of this place. This workshop broadens
the view of the integration of the surrounding
districts, the interfaces in the public space and the
functional recharging of the transport hub beyond
shopping.
