Energy Landscapes 3.0, Bauhaus Summer School 2011

Energy Landscapes 3.0, Bauhaus Summer School 2011 Annual Summer School held at the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation Today, this begs the question of which geographies will be influenced by the post-fossil fuel era.

Since the outset of industrialisation, the natural deposits of fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) and the geography of their conversion, distribution, interim storage and use have influenced spatial development. The compartmentalised structures of the pre-fossil fuel era gave way to the fossil fuel era and its transcontinental networks and systems. In the debate on renewable energies and climate protec

tion, the question of which new networks are required has steadily gained importance. In the process, it is becoming increasingly clear that the megastructures of the fossil fuel era cannot be substituted by a myriad of small, decentralised energy productions alone, as in the pre-fossil fuel era, but that megastructures per se must be reconsidered in an intelligent way. This geography of energy systems is not only a technological issue, but also an important factor for spatial development, whether on a small or a large scale. The objective of the Summer School Energy Landscapes 3.0 is to analyse potential network geographies and concepts and their impacts on settlement structures in Europe. We will thereby explicitly refer to a chronicle of utopian thought on a large scale – visionary ideas for new Energy Landscapes promulgated decades ago by Sörgel in 1928 with Atlantropa and Richard Buckminster Fuller with his World Game in 1972. The results of the summer school will be presented during the festival Über Lebenskunst at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt. In its four design studios the participants of the International Summer School will work on the subjects of production, transport, storage, usage of energy. The focus will be on the resulting geographies. The studios will be under guidance of renowned experts from different fields – amongst others Anuradha Mathur / Dilip da Cunha (Philadelphia and Bangalore), Stefan Tischer (Alghero), Theo Deutinger (Rotterdam) and Gunnar Hartmann (Dessau-Roßlau/Chur).

We are collecting opinions and positions to the prospect of a post-fossil energy structure. We are interviewing a range of participants, advisors, experts, speakers and so on. We ask that each studio select two participants to provide commentary/responses to the questions below during a filmed interview session to be scheduled sometime tomorrow. We will share more info about this at Tea Time today at 5:00pm.

22/07/2011

Had a great series of lectures this morning:
1. Dr. Henning Schirmel, Geography and History of Energy Systems
2. Prof. Joachim Krausse, The Landscapes of Energy Slaves
3. Dr. Albrecht Reuter, Technologies in storage, transport and generation of renewable energy
4. Alex Voigt, Island systems – the off-grid energy solution?
5. Dr. Jan G. Tönnies, Future Net Structures
