Imanuel Schipper is head of the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF<\/a>) funded research project \u201eRe\/Occupation. Designing Public Spheres in Urban Space by Theatrical Interventions\u201c. Between sepetember 2009 and november 2010 he was head of the also by the SNSF funded research project \u201eLonging for Authenticity<\/a>. A Critical Analysis of the Term an the Actual Practice in the Context of Contemporary Staging.\u201c He already dealt with strategies of construction and staging for several years. Many times, he worked as a dramaturgist for the theatre collective Rimini Protokoll and developed together with the collective a contemporary way of documentary theatre. Clemens Bellut studied Philosophy, Philology and Ethnology in Bonn and T\u00fcbingen. Teaching at the University T\u00fcbingen, the H\u00f6lderlin- House T\u00fcbingen, the Evangelische Stift in T\u00fcbingen, the Merz- Akademie in Stuttgart, the FU Berlin, the Technical University Ilmenau and the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK). From 1993 to 1997 consultant of the chairmans of the airport corporation Frankfurt (FRAport); since 2006 – together with Ruedi Baur and Stefanie-Vera Kockot – head of the institut Design2context<\/a> of the ZHdK. Gabriela Muri is an architect and a cultural scientist and works as senior lecturer at the chair for sociology<\/a> at the architecture departement of the ETH Zurich. In her PhD Pause! Zeitordnung und Auszeiten aus alltagskultureller Sicht and in her interdisciplinary research projects, she focuses on the fundamental preconditions of the production and representation of space and time in urban contexts (urban design, public space, spatial design, cultur of time \u2013 modern course of the year), but also on the daily life of different groups of society (event culture, youth culture, intergenerationality, techno scene, happiness of daily life). In her habilitation Raum-, Zeit- und Bildrepr\u00e4sentationen urbaner \u00d6ffentlichkeiten, she deals with the spatiotemporal conception of the situationality in urban contexts. Explicitly, she integrates theoretical questions concerning culture and city, which are closely connected with conditions of production and aesthetical characteristics of contemporary event culture and scene cultures. Opposed to staging and typing of public sphere as stage- or consumption cultur, are situative relevant and everyday practices of appropriation of agents \u2013 here are links for an examination of theatrical interventions in everyday urban spaces. Tim Rieniets is an architect, researcher and curator and works as senior lecturer at the chair for architecture and urban design<\/a> at the ETH Zurich. Public space takes on a central position in his scientific, didactic and curatorial activities: As co-curator of the 4th International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam 2009 “Open City<\/a>: Designing Coexistence”, Tim Rieniets dealt intensively with questions of accessibility and participation in urban spaces. In cooperation with internationals experts, phenomena of spatial segregation were analyzed and solutions for urban design were developed. Also the exhibition design of the Biennale at the Netherlands Architecture Institute (by MAXWAN Architects + Urbanists) followed the idea to generate a space for the public, stimulating encounters between visitors and encouraging their active participation. For this purpose, architecture, displayed pieces, commercial offers and events were melted into a \u201espace of possibilities\u201c. The results of the exhibition were published in the publication \u201eOpen City: Designing Coexistence\u201c (Rieniets et al 2009). Dr. Stephan Tr\u00fcby (b. 1970) is an architect, theoretician, curator and director of the post-graduate programme “Spatial Design<\/a>” at Zurich’s University of the Arts. He studied architecture at the AA School, London. From 2007-2009 he was Professor of Architecture at Karlsruhe’s University of Arts and Design (HfG). Amongst his most important publications arearchitektur_theorie.doc: Essays since 1960 (with Gerd de Bruyn, Birkh\u00e4user, 2003), 5 Codes: Architecture, Paranoia and Risk in Times of Terror (ed. by Igmade, Birkh\u00e4user, 2006), Exit-Architecture: Design between War and Peace (Springer, 2008), The World of Madelon Vriesendorp (with Shumon Basar, AA Publications, 2008) andHertzianism: Electromagnetism in Architecture, Design and Art (Fink, 2009). He is an Editorial Consultant of ARCH+ . His research focuses on history and theory of scenography, interlacing of “scenography and architecture” and “theater\/performance and architecture”. In “Exit-Architecture” Tr\u00fcby examined concepts of “function”, “event” and temporariness” in existing architectures. In “Re\/Occupation”, he will develop this topic further.<\/p>\n Johanna Dangel studied literature and history in Freiburg im Breisgau and Paris. During and after her studies dramaturgical assistences (Theaterhaus Gessneralle, Theater Freiburg, Vorarlberger Landestheater Bregenz). She writes on her dissertation \u201eThe mediatised Death.

\nImanuel Schipper works on the interface between scientific research, teaching, and artistic practice. He analyses the terms \u201etheatricality\u201c, \u201eperformativity\u201c, \u201edramaturgy\u201c, \u201estaging\u201c, \u201ereception\u201c and \u201emediality\u201c – coming from the theatre studies – beyond the boundaries of the theatre, for example in design, urban design, scenography and curation.
\nHe participated several times as curator and dramaturgist in theatrical\/performative interventions in public spaces, amongst others Re-Location: Sanatorium am Schiffbau Z\u00fcrich (together with Matthias von Hartz), City of Abstracts (William Forsythe) or Hot Spots \u2013 \u00edmoun eth\u00f3 in Athens with Rimini Protokoll.
\n\u201eI search theatrical structures outside the theatre, but also look for solutions to transform practical and theoretical theatre knowledge in non-theatrical areas.\u201c<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/reoccupation\/files\/2011\/10\/Clemens-300x225.jpg\")

\nDue to her longtime research and teaching activity at the Institute for Popular Cultures<\/a> at the University Zurich and at the chair for sociology at the architecture departement of the ETH Zurich, she is to locate in all the different disciplines, which deal with central questions of contemporary urban design and appropriation of public urban spaces.
\nIn several research- and exhibition projects, she worked with collegues of Zurich’s University of the Arts and she has experienced the exchange of their contexts of theory and their practical relevance as very productive.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/reoccupation\/files\/2011\/10\/tim_2-240x300.jpg\")

\nTim Rieniets is initiator and coordinator of the Urban Research Studio<\/a> at the chair for architecture and urban design (ETH Zurich), where he investigated the production and use of public spaces by means of empirical research. Involving architecture students, different aspects of publicness and public space were examined, e.g.: time and rhythm of the use of public space; formal and informal media (placards, signs, graffiti); waste as indicator for mental value of public space; contingent encounters in public space; security and surveillance a.s.o.
\nAs lecturer and co-organizer of the interdisciplinary workshop \u201eFancity 2008<\/a>\u201c, Tim Rieniets contributed to the critical analysis of public space in Zurich, one of the host cities of the UEFA European Football Championship 2008. Furthermore, he curated the interdisciplinary exhibition \u201eLangstrasse verl\u00e4ngern!<\/a>\u201c at the Architekturforum Z\u00fcrich, which dealt with tendencies of gentrification and commercialization of public space.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blog.zhdk.ch\/reoccupation\/files\/2011\/10\/0_Tr\u00fcby1-177x300.jpg\")
