City Visions at UNSW in Sydney

“STADTVISIONEN 1910|2010” is a major exhibition which features outstanding projects of urban design developed around 1910 and 2010 in five metropolitan cities. Produced in cooperation between the German Federal Ministry of Transport, Building & Urban Development, the Museum of Architecture and the Technical University of Berlin, it was conceived on the occasion of the centennial of the 1910 „General Town Planning Exhibition“ in Berlin, which helped establish the discipline as a profession with its own visions, principles and methods. “STADTVISIONEN“ takes a fresh look at the ideas and projects from 100 years ago and contrasts them with today’s ambitions of sustainable urbanism.

The exhibition has also inspired the work of the students of the Masters course in Urban Development and Design at UNSW and their designs for Sydney, Canberra, Venice and Hamburg in 2013/14. Their work on “City Visions” will be on display together with “STADTVISIONEN“ from 5 March at UNSW. The exhibition will culminate in a closing colloquium with professionals from Germany and Australia under the auspices of the German Consul General on 28 March.
