This year the summer academy for architecture, reurbanization and sustainability, ars 09 berlin will take place from Mai 30th to July 2nd.
The program is designed as a workshop focusing specifically on an urban situation that does not offer a homogenous urban context to begin with. The program is aims to research and investigate strategies to densify the urban fabric and open the discourse to new solutions. The later development of Berlin particularly the process of Berlin’s reunification presents a broad range of concepts and strategies to explore and thrive off.

As a method rather than looking at the one answer we do investigate scenarios. We consider scenarios as tools to explore the future – or rather for exploring different possible futures. This approach allows us to focus on critical uncertainties. This way we will be able to look beyond the future we most likely expect. The summer academy is reaching out to think the unthinkable, anticipate the unknowable and utilise both to make better strategic decisions.
A challenging and rewarding experience welcomes advanced undergraduate students at the ars 09 berlin. Starting with fieldtrips to explore similar situations and to get familiar with the city of Berlin this program offers an academic environment for learning in an international context, referencing different cultural backgrounds to new perspectives, fostering intercultural understanding.
