Urban Interventions - Comparative analysis and evaluation of urban interventions in art, theater and political/cultural activism from an urban design perspective

在该项目的第一阶段，对“干预”一词进行了论述分析评价，在个案研究的基础上探讨了城市干预措施，并进行了实地研究。个案研究侧重于四个核心主题：作为紧急援助的城市干预措施、作为赋权的城市干预措施、作为监管政策的工具和作为抗议的形式;实地研究以汉堡的城市干预措施为主题。这些研究的目标是制定城市干预措施的分类和评估其有效性的标准。为此，根据若干参数（例如意图、行为者组合、方法、效果）对选定的案例研究进行了分析和系统化。研究结果显示，许多城市干预措施的结果存在模糊性：它们确实有效，但往往以不同于预期的方式发挥作用。以汉堡的“公园小说”为例，这是一个对城市发展持批评态度的参与式艺术项目，最终成为该市营销努力的布恩。这种模糊性表明，必须从各种角度评价城市干预措施，以便考虑到与工具化有关的一系列问题。因此，作为汉堡实地研究的一部分开发的分类法是多价的。在（特此提议的）项目的第二阶段，将使用比较实地研究来确定这种模糊性是汉堡特有的现象还是城市干预的一般特征。“萎缩”地区哈勒/莱比锡/德绍和埃森/鲁尔将与“遭受创伤”的城市贝尔格莱德和贝鲁特沿着进行评价，作为与“增长”城市汉堡的比较点。 此外，全球抗议运动（占领运动、阿拉伯之春等）所使用的空间接管方法和策略，的专题个案研究，并会在这些实地和个案研究的框架内，检讨、扩充和修订第一期计划所确立的初步分类方法，以及评估成效的准则。该项目的总体目标-除了实地的科学文献和案例研究之外-是发展一种理论，提出并系统地记录干预做法的机制和含糊之处，以便在可能的情况下，作为城市设计的方法论工具。该项目将特别探讨是否“干预”可以跨学科理解为特定时代的行动模式。研究将伴随讲习班。其结果将在研讨会上讨论，记录在出版物中，并通过展览与公众分享，初步评估和话语分析于2012年5月出版，名为“Glossar der Interventionen”。包括初步分类在内的实地研究将于2013年5月公布。

In the first phase of the project, a discourse-analytical evaluation of the term "intervention" was carried out, urban interventions were explored on the basis of case studies, and a field study was conducted. The case studies focused on four core themes: urban interventions as emergency aid, as empowerment, as instrument of regulatory policies and as form of protest; the field study took urban interventions in Hamburg as its subject. The goal of these studies was the development of a taxonomy of urban interventions and criteria for evaluating their effectiveness. To that end, the selected case studies were analyzed and systemized according to several parameters (e.g. intention, constellation of actors, method, effect). The results revealed an ambiguity in the outcome of many urban interventions: they are effective, yes, but often in a different way than intended. Take, for example, Hamburg's Park Fiction, a participatory art project critical of urban development that eventually became a boon for the city's marketing efforts. Such ambiguities make clear that urban interventions must be evaluated from a variety of perspectives in order that a range of questions regarding instrumentalization be taken into consideration. The taxonomy developed as part of the Hamburg field study is accordingly polyvalent.In the (hereby proposed) second phase of the project, comparative field studies will be used to determine whether such ambiguities are a phenomenon specific to Hamburg or a general characteristic of urban interventions. "Shrinking" regions Halle/Leipzig/Dessau and Essen/Ruhr will be evaluated along with "traumatized" cities Belgrade and Beirut as a point of comparison to the "growing" city of Hamburg. In addition, the spatial takeover methods and strategies used by global protest movements (Occupy, Arab Spring, etc.) will be analyzed as thematic case studies from an urban design perspective.The preliminary taxonomy established in the first phase of the project will be reviewed, expanded and refined within the framework of these field and case studies, as will the criteria for the assessment of effectiveness. The overall goal of the project - beyond the scientific documentation of the field and case studies - is the development of a theory that presents and methodically records the mechanisms and ambiguities of interventionist practices so that they may, if possible, be developed as methodological instruments of urban design.The project will specifically explore the question of whether or not "intervention" can be understood across disciplines as an era-specific model of action.The research will be accompanied by workshops. Its results will be discussed in symposia, documented in publications and shared with the general public by means of an exhibition.The initial evaluation and discourse analysis was published in May 2012 as "Glossar der Interventionen". The field study, including preliminary taxonomy, will come out in May 2013.
