by jestashreemullurguruswamy

excursion FB A and FB W - PuMa to LaDaDi

On Monday, October 7, 25 master’s students in architecture went on an exciting excursion to the administration of the Darmstadt-Dieburg district (LaDaDi). Accompanied by the supervising professors Anke Mensing and Udo Gleim as well as the head of the Public Management course Friederike Edel from the Department of Economics, we explored innovative spatial concepts that have been tested at the Kranichstein site since 2020.

The tour through the modern building and the subsequent discussion about the challenges of our time, the central role of administration in transformation and the importance of spaces for new forms of collaboration were enriching for everyone involved. Monika Abendschein and Stephanie Bastian from the LaDaDi future workshop shared valuable insights, while Renate Göbel-Tomesch, a committed administrative designer and PuMa alumna, enriched our exchange with practical perspectives.

The event highlighted the important connection between theory and practice and opened up new career perspectives in administration for our students. It was an inspiring day that promoted innovation and demonstrated the potential for future collaboration.

Financing the social-ecological transformation- Lecture, conversation

by jestashreemullurguruswamy

 

Tue April 23, 2024, 7:00 pm

With: Prof. Ulrich Klüh,
Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences

Response: Georg Schürmann, Managing Director Triodos Bank NV Germany

 

When we hear the term “financing social-ecological transformation,” we usually think of sustainable equity funds or the federal government’s climate and transformation fund. But what role do savings banks and cooperative banks actually play? What can the ECB do? And which tax system can be used to support public investments in How best to finance climate protection? But do these questions really get to the core of the problem? Prof. Ulrich Klüh will talk about the nexus of money and matter: the plurality and materiality of transformation financing.

The series of events, which will take place from March to June 2024 in the Haus am Dom, will examine the question of why we need new economic thinking.

Here you will find detailed information.

Location: Schader Campus | Goethestrasse 2 | 64285 Darmstadt

 

 

 

After more than 70 years of intensive economic growth with its wealth-increasing effect, the negative ecological and social limits of this development are becoming increasingly clear:

The Earth’s resources and its ability to bear the consequences of human economic activity are being exhausted. Working hours and demands as well as unlimited consumption are becoming a burden for people themselves.

The ever-increasing unequal distribution of income and wealth both between the global North and South and within the rich industrialized countries is leading to social and political tensions.
