Project Category: Summer School
Client: HafenCity University
Location: Friedrichstadt
Period of time: Summer 2022

In 2015, the city of Friedrichstadt is taking part in the subsidized ‘City of the Future’ competition. With the start of the final 3rd phase in 2021, things are getting concrete: a group of committed city residents is working with HafenCity University Hamburg and the planning office Denkstatt sàrl to develop the idea of a residential and community building in Friedrichstadt. The “Frieehus” project is to be realized and supported by a citizens’ cooperative, which is currently being founded.

The Summer School includes the conception and development of an exhibition with 1:1 spatial experiments and artistic interventions for the “Frieehus”. Friedrichstadt residents and students from HafenCity University are working together on an exhibition setting, workshops, perfomative dinners, walks and a closing party. 

The sponsor of this project is Hallo: e.V., members of UVM are significantly involved.
