Dynamics of periphery

Focussing on the territorial and architectural dimension of peripheries, the conference is starting from a perspective of architecture, urban design, and territorial planning. „Dynamics of Periphery“ aims at a design and research approach towards an innovative role of peripheries. It explicitly opens up also to related economic, ecological, social and cultural studies. Its focus is set on projects, plans, narratives, conceptualisations, scenarios, and strategy-building for peripheries as accelerators of change in sustainable territorial futures.
