Sally Below / Christopher Dell (eds.)

At the interface between urban development and networking, Piazza Spinelli makes a convincing plea for a new planning culture. Based on years of experience in a conversion process in Mannheim-Käfertal, Sally Below and Christopher Dell, together with experts from various disciplines, examine how existing buildings can be rethought and developed in a locally anchored way. Using the example of the Spinelli FreiRaumLab, a network of institutions, parishes and administration, this book shows how a cooperative methodology for dealing with complex urban situations can be created from cross-institutional negotiations, conversion concepts, the generation of publicity and interventions on a 1:1 scale.

With contributions from Sally Below, Davide Brocci, Christopher Dell, Martin Ehret, Ralf Eisenhauer, Hanno Ehrbeck, Karl-Heinz Imhäuser, Anne Keßler, Rainer Kilb, Daniel Koch, Peter Kurz, Wiebke Lawrenz, Reiner Nagel, Dominique Peck, Stefan Rettich, Sabine Tastel, Renée Tribble, Jean-Philippe Vassal, Jens Weisener and Stephan Willinger.
