YEARBOOK

In 1962, the temporary lecture theatre designed by architect Friedrich Wagner was completed at the University of Stuttgart. The plan was to dismantle this temporary structure after 7 years and replace it with a permanent building. Today, after more than 60 years, the building is still in use and is an architectural history illustration of the Mero system invented by Max Mengeringhausen.

This edition of the 2023/24 yearbook of the Faculty of Architecture and Landscape at Leibniz Universität Hannover is also a temporary publication. After 20 editions of HOCHWEIT were published by a publishing house, the Faculty decided to find a new format in 2023 that can handle online and print media more flexibly.

Provisorium is a first step in this direction. It shows a selection of student works that were also shown at the annual exhibition in October 2024 and is available as a PDF and book on demand. At its best, this edition is not only a repository that captures the concepts, themes and styles of this year, but also a working basis for the further development of the format. In this sense, a constructive and critical debate is necessary so that #Provisorium remains what it should be: a vehicle for transformation.

Enjoy exploring the works and good luck with the further development of the format!
