Embark on the journey towards a more graceful future today. Our dynamic ecosystem is in perpetual evolution, and as architects and planners, we play a pivotal role in shaping it. In educating aspiring architects, planners, and designers, as well as in conducting research on all facets of the built environment, there is a pressing need to prioritize sufficiency and embrace interdisciplinary approaches like never before. We eagerly anticipate a multitude of perspectives, bold collaborations, and profound revelations as we convene for our annual gathering in Münster. Let us engage in open dialogue, sparking inspiration and mutual enrichment.

Excursion

The Ruhr region in Germany was once a smoky, dark area dominated by heavy industries and mining. However, starting in 1989, a breathtaking and long-term transformation began with the “International Architecture Exhibition Emscher Park” (IBA Emscher Park). This initiative has turned the Ruhr into a diverse, vibrant, innovative, and dynamic region. Creative and green open spaces, along with lovingly restored historic industrial buildings, now offer spaces for cultural centers, museums, start-ups, and offices with a strong identity. These spaces are adjacent to contemporary residential estates and workmen’s dwellings from about 100 years ago.

We invite you to join us in exploring and experiencing the architecture of the Ruhr region, where history meets modernity. From impressive new buildings to industrial heritage sites like Villa Hügel and the Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex, there are numerous architectural highlights to discover. These projects are not only interesting in terms of urban planning and architecture but are also important symbols of sustainable structural change in the Ruhr region. The wide variety of architectural styles and programmatic mix make the region a fascinating urban laboratory. Enjoy a day filled with visits to remarkable sites and pleasant breaks with tasty refreshments in a nice atmosphere.
