Workshop for School Classes - PlaySpaceCity

As part of the PlaySpaceCity workshop, we explore the familiar everyday environment of children and adolescents (ideally in the immediate school environment) and engage together in thinking, philosophizing, and speculating about architecture and the built environment. For example, we ask which of the buildings in sight is the boss, or which buildings like each other and which may not. We look at individual architectures, wonder where they would like to be seen from most, and engage with their effect...

This workshop is part of the two themes running through this year's artistic residencies at the Bridderhaus: Playtime and Vernacular Spectacular. The first theme looks at the influence that an artist's project can have on a city's architecture and urbanity through play, while the second explores the particularities of a city and its architecture.

Dr. Turit Fröbe is an architectural historian and urbanist. She has worked for a long time as a research assistant and concurrently as a guest professor at the University of the Arts Berlin. In 2014, she founded the STADTDENKEREI, offering cities and municipalities unconventional, playful strategies for communicating architectural culture. She develops educational concepts for children and adolescents, researches architectural education, and has made a name for herself as a non-fiction author in the broader public (The Art of Building Sins (Dumont 2020), Eccentric Homes (Dumont 2021), Just a Facade? (Dumont 2018)).

Turit Fröbe has an immense passion for everything related to architecture and urban planning. She is interested not only in the outstanding and unique but has also developed a fondness for the cumbersome and uncomfortable. She seizes every opportunity to encourage a "loving look" at the built environment, particularly the familiar everyday architecture.
