He trained and worked as landscape gardener before studying architecture and urban planning in Darmstadt and Berlin. He has been a practising architect and urban planner since 1996 (co-founding b&k+, since 2001: bernd kniess architecture urban planning). He has held various teaching positions, including a professorship for planning methodology and design at the University of Wuppertal (2003-2005). Leonhard Lagos Kalhoff (*1978) is an urban researcher based in Heiligenhaus. He studied architecture and urban planning and was a teaching assistant for planning methodology and design at the University of Wuppertal. He is now a fellow of the German Research Foundation (DFG) at the Technical University Hamburg-Harburg and works on “Topology of the Everyday City”. In their joint work ‘explore’ Bernd Kniess and Leonhard Lagos Kalhoff focus on the analysis of every-day urban life. By involving young people, as unconventional users of the urban landscape, they develop new methods and a new vocabulary to make every-day reality itself a resource for new strategies in architecture and urban planning. The pictorial map presented in the exhibition explores the connection between modern youth and subcultures and their use of urban space. It shows a radically subjective cartography of the urban and post-industrial landscapes that make up the Ruhr region. The map is the result of a workshop featuring students of the KISD Cologne. The film clips in the exhibition were made by youth with mobile phone cameras, and show both insights into and prospects of young lifestyles in the Ruhr.
