Monash Architecture Professional Practice Lecture 2023
Join us for a guest lecture by Kees Christiaanse, the first lecture of 2023 which is part of the Monash Architecture Professional Practice Lectures.
As founder and partner of KCAP, Kees focuses on urban design projects in complex situations and coaching urban processes. Paramount in his work is to reconciliate contradictory forces into coherent urban design concepts. His approach acknowledges that an urban situation is subject to continuous transformation and that urban (re-)development intervenes in this process. He developed the 'simultaneous chess'-method for urban design processes, in which multiple work- and process-flows are driven forward in a parallel way, in order to bundle all aspects of the planning process in an integrated way. He is an expert in the field of revitalisation of industrial, railway, and harbour areas, diverse urban neighbourhoods, airport environments and university campuses, as well as urban-rural relations.
Kees’ ideas are at the base of many successful area developments, like HafenCity in Hamburg, Jurong Lake District in Singapore, Europaallee in Zurich, the Swiss Innovation Park and Wijnhaven in Rotterdam. As a professor at TU Berlin, ETH Zurich, Future Cities Lab in Singapore and TU Munich he has carried out groundbreaking research, resulting in several books and publications, like Open City, Designing Coexistence, City as Loft, Urban Breeding Ground, The Noise Landscape, The Potato Plan Collection and Kees Christiaanse Textbook.
Light refreshments will be provided and you are welcome to join us for the AA Prize Unbuilt exhibition which is being launched in the same venue at 6pm.
The full program for Semester 1 will be released shortly.
