Lehrstuhl für Entwerfen und Städtebau

The chair of urban design, led by Prof. Fabienne Hoelzel investigates contemporary urbanization processes and how (strategic) urban design approaches can respond in meaningful, productive, and future-oriented ways. Case studies through the means of research-by-design and research include the urban regions of Lagos (Nigeria); Addis Abeba, Hawassa, and Zeway (Ethiopia); Mumbai (India); Stuttgart and the region of the Allgäu (Germany), among others.

Urban Metabolism” and “Stuttgart 22+” were awarded the 3rd prize at Global Schindler Award 2019, the first prize (ex aequo) with special appreciation at the Studentenförderpreis 2019 of the Architektenkammer Baden-Württemberg, the 3rd prize at the Bau 2018/ BAKA, Berlin, and were shortlisted for the Bau 2019/ BAKA, Munich, respectively.
