Stephan RITZER, Maximin RIEDER, & Klemens SITZMANN: Within our project, we re-read certain urban typologies, from a two-dimensional to a three-dimensional state. Our ambition was to re-think on former type categorisations which were determined and defined for an urban layout, relying on the cartesian x-y-z axis.

jeroen ROOSEN, ewa LENART, & klemens SITZMANN: A sneak preview of an emerging Arctic knowledge based Hydro-Economy.
The project develops an urban planning strategy for the Arctic, establishing a relationship with site specific conditions such as topography, a continuously changing permafrost soil, strong snowdrifts and a combination of extreme frost during winter and melt during summer. A Hydro-economy based on the availability of constant Arctic windspeeds (that are twice as fast as in other parts of the world) and the accessibility of large fresh water supplies can make an urban scenario for this quickly changing area a viable premise for the future.
