Young people, time, space, material, science and experts in different artistic and technical fields provide the basis of this collaboration. Mutual Learning helps all participants of our programs to learn from each others‘ experiences and enhances the transferability of good practice. Who teaches to whom and who learns by what? Being open minded about different approachs, we will get a deeper understanding, more possibilities, choices and mostly unexpected and interesting outcomes. Download Perspective (pdf 1.93 MB)

	Silke Bausenwein Treffpunkt Schule, Germany is an architect and architectural educator, Hagelstadt. Since 2004 she does architectural projects with schools and since 2010 she teaches Architecture at the Hochschule Regensburg. She found „Tano – Treffpunkt Schule“ Niederbayern/ Oberpfalz of Bayerischen Architektenkammer. She is alternate speaker at the BDB and works with the consultative committee of Architekturkreis Regensburg. www.schule.tano.de www.architektur-vor-ort.net Session: city, space, playground? Our lives take place in a built environment: be it a citiy or a space. Children experience and examine the built surrounding playfully while they grow up. However, an intense and expert guidance is helpful for a mature and responsible participation in architectural assessment and evaluation. To develop and aid this guidance, the „Bayerische Architektenkammer“ since several years organises and finances various projects for architects, teachers and – of course – for childen and teenagers in and out of the class rooms. The built evironment educator Silke Bausenwein introduces, together with her partners at „Archtektur vor Ort“, a young agency for built environment education in Ratisbon (Regensburg, Germany) the initiative „Treffpunkt Schule“ (Meeting point: school) of the regional online networking platform „TANO“. They also present and discuss a recent project  which accompanies the building process of a primary school, an example of a successful participatory figuration of an architectural and socio-cultural process which was supported by the City of Regensburg.

We use the street as a communication platform, we open spaces for action, participation and exchange. we want to question statements, rethink meanings and generate debate. we like surprises, we turn the normal things upside down. we’re looking for public sense in common space. so we have done several projects like: Scaena_200mm Interactive scenography. Zürich, Die Volsküche Public action. Innsbruck, Willkommen Street art intervention. Berlin, IBA Sommerfest Public event. Berlin. www.stiftungfreizeit.com Session: my public island Public space is a terrain vague although being a familiar term which we are use to. Intermingled with most of our daily enviroments, it´s a space of exchange and communication, the place where me meet and gather with others. Sometimes crowded other desolated, it is constantly modified, improved or even denied by multiple agents. It is loaded with many uses and rules, but has also undefined zones. Public space is commonly shared and created for open use throughout the community. It´s a common good, and we have rights on and responsibilities towards it. Stiftung F R E I Z E I T activities are experiments to explore and activate public space thus gathering knowledge about it. We try to reveal unexpressed meanings, make potentialities visible and awake oportunities. We look for public sense in common space. We encourage the workshop participants to take part as active user of the city space and contribute with their ideas experiencing with some editing strategies in an intervention at Venice. The aim of this intervention is to explore the border between individual freedom and common urbanity by questioning the statements of public space and its limits.

Her innovative Design Strategy of Participation and Architecture caused internationally a stir, exhibitions, workshops and lectures worldwide. www.baupiloten.com, http://fg-hofmann.blogspot.de Perspective: Desire versus consensus? The talk concentrates on atmospheres as participatory design strategies to explore how a successful and creative communication between the user, client and the architect can generate «socially robust knowledge» and finally the particular spatial form. Sensations and Immediacy: I believe the atmosphere of an environment is at least as important as its actual material construction. We are often instinctively aware of the way the atmosphere of a place very directly affects our well-being. Spatial Form Triggered off by Children’s Expertise and Imagination: We can draw the conclusion from our school projects that communication about the sensory experience is crucial for the interaction between architects and users. Based on the ages, the social and cultural backgrounds we develop individual models of participation. The essential components are conceptional and artistic stimuli, which have to be specifically sought outside the school context. Download Perspective (pdf 5.74 MB) Session: construction of atmosphere The hands-on workshop explores the sensory experience by using our shared understanding of spatial atmospheres as the common ground for discussion. Inspired by German photographer Thomas Struth’s “Unconscious Places” in the Arsenale’s central pavilion, search the site of the Biennale for its own unconscious places and photograph its hidden moments. Postcards depicting different atmospheres, situations and activities will provide the catalyst for your re-conceived notion of the site. Your photographs will be collated as an alternative map of the Biennale. Download Session (pdf 1.08 MB)

Real-life examples demonstrate the possibilities of empowerment when building, no matter the age group, and offer a glimpse of the spectrum of potential materials, techniques and approaches in architecture and filming.

In Up-Side-Down-Town, film will be a tool for building space and transmutation, the ambassador of perception. Music will set the plot points, laying an atmospheric framework. Architecture and film use „building materials“ chosen for a specific concept, which result in completely different spaces, depending on who and how they are put together.

How can people of all ages take part in making small and bigger decisions? Essential is to know something about the structure of the city, and of course be interested in it! Everybody has an opinion about their environment, but how to bring it up? Usually the typical way is to make a complaint about an already existing plan, which is not very constructive. The alternative way is to plan the environment together with the inhabitants. In order for citizens to be able to voice their opinions, they need tools for expressing their opinions.

Which are the issues that should be covered in or outside school, and which are sensible learning goals associated with them? In my presentation I will discuss these issues on the basis of the psychological model of expert-layperson-communication. I will argue that teaching should focus on the essential concepts and skills that are necessary to understand and appreciate how architecture and the city evolve in society, because these are necessary for the pupils to competently engage in the use and appropriation of built spaces. The intrinsic interdisciplinarity of this endeavor is a strength as well as a challenge to the teaching of architecture.

There are a number of projects that highlight the enormous capacity young people have to contribute to the planning and design of their neighborhoods when they are given the opportunity to exercise power over places where they live.
