Description
At first glance, urban design and wildness seem to form an oxymoron. Yet, as urban space and the tasks it needs to fulfill are evolving, wildness emerges as a dynamic urban resource of its own-in a material, as well as a cognitive manner. From urban gardening and cohabitation to revitalization and renaturation projects, wild spaces and practices seem to be springing up everywhere. Do these trends merely reflect a commodification of sustainability, or do they hold genuine transformative potential? If the latter, are we recognizing them as an invitation to change the way in which we perceive and shape our living environments? How does urban design approach the subject of wildness and its potentially innovative impact in the urban context? Do other disciplines witness similar trends that, likewise, demand new professional thinking and assessment? How can architects and urban designers critically engage with wild concepts and practices?"Let's Talk Wild!" explores these questions by collecting 12 perspectives, drawing from various disciplines including art, anthropology, architecture, sociology, literature, and history. Rather than following a singular narrative, this publication weaves a polyphonic dialogue on chaos, creativity, and the paradoxical meanings of wildness, painting a picture that is as complex as the term itself. Through written and visual contributions, it challenges scholars of urban design to think beyond binaries and embrace the layered, dynamic systems that form urban life. Dorothee Rummel is Junior Professor of Urban and Regional Design (Stadt Raum Entwerfen) at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. Previously, she spent over ten years teaching and researching as a research assistant at the Chair of Sustainable Urbanism at the Technical University of Munich and the Institute for Urban Design and Urban Theory at the Munich University of Applied Sciences. DorotheeRummel studied Architecture at the University of California, Berkeley, the Universität der Künste Berlin, and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, where she also completed her dissertation on urban space reserves (Der Wert des Restraums). Dorothee Rummel is a member of the international and interdisciplinary research community Urban Environments Initiative. Her research and publications focus on urban spatial reserves, inclusion in public spaces, principles and models of coexistence in urban and rural areas, and the interactions between urban space and the human psyche. As a co-founder of XOstudio for architecture and urban planning in Munich, she has been working as a planner and consultant in urban and local development since 2007, alongside her teaching and research activities. Hanna Hemberger is a research assistant at the Chair of Urban and Regional Design at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. Previously trained in Translation with a focus on Spanish and English, Hanna went on to study Architecture in Weimar. In March 2024, she completed her master's degree with her thesis Gewerbe + Gebiet, focusing on the social and ecological entanglements between an urban riverscape and existing commercial areas. Her research is informed by diverse experiences in architectural studios across Weimar, Santiago de Compostela, and Zurich, where she engaged with (landscape) architecture and urban design.
