Das im Jahre 2003 verabschiedete und 2006 in Kraft getretene UNESCO-Übereinkommen zur Bewahrung des immateriellen Kulturerbes erweitert das Kulturverständnis von gebautem Kulturerbe gemäß der Konvention aus dem Jahre 1972 durch gelebtes Kulturerbe. Die Dissertation zeigt beispielhaft, wie sich Bürger einer Stadt und einer Region mit ihrer historischen Vergangenheit befassen und dass es lohnenswert ist, sich mit ihrem ererbten immateriellen Kulturerbe auseinander zu setzen. Sie bezeugt, dass eine moderne populäre Kultur die Pflege des immateriellen Kulturerbes voranbringt, dass personalisierte und vergesellschaftete Individuen die Sorge um den drohenden Kulturverlust ernst nehmen und diesem aktiv, eigenständig und unpolitisch entgegen treten. Ausgehend von der wertphilosophischen und kulturtheoretischen Annäherung werden im zweiten und dritten Kapitel beispielhaft die Ur-Inszenierung im Jahre 1475 und die Re-Inszenierung im 21. Jahrhundert gegenübergestellt. Die Ergebnisse aus der Untersuchung werden im vierten Kapitel diskutiert. An Hand der Promotionsschrift wird versucht, Antworten auf folgende Fragen zu finden: - Hat die Re-Inszenierung der „Landshuter Fürstenhochzeit 1475“ des 21. Jahrhunderts das Potential eines immateriellen Kulturerbes? - Kann sie den negativen Begleiterscheinungen des Generations- wechsels und der Globalisierung entgegentreten? - Ist sie eine zeitgenössische Transformationsmethode von (Denkmal)Werten? - Was sind die Schutzkomponenten? - Trägt die Re-Inszenierung zu der kulturellen Identität einer Stadt an authentischem Ort bei und hat sie Einfluss auf die Gestaltung der baulich-räumlichen Umwelt?

SENSUAL IS POLITICAL
(2011)
Daniela Brasil is currently a PhD candidate at the professorship of Spatial Planning and Research at Architecture Faculty of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, where she has also been teaching since 2007. Her seminars foster bodily experiments and critical thinking on “city’s sensuality”, where discussions on city marketing and affectivity are central. She was educated in architecture and urbanism in Brazil and Portugal and holds a Master of Fine Arts in Public Art and new artistic strategies. Idealizing and realizing artistic-oriented projects that intervene in relations between bodies and cities is her main concern since the mid-nineties; where she preferably works in transdisciplinary groups, as in “Lisbon Capital of Nothing: create, debate and intervene in public space, Marvila 2001”. Daniela currently runs the project “Baustelle M10 > gallery for contemporary experiments” within a collective of artists and students in Weimar.
This practice-based research examines platforms and encounters that have a participatory character as a strategy to create lived and shared experiences where new forms of appropriation of the city can emerge. The selected case studies propose and initiate certain urban experiences that induce changes in perception, the exchange of perspectives, and that denaturalize habits and patterns of behavior. I suggest that when these sensitive experiences become imprinted in body memory, they can empower citizens to have more active, creative, and/or critical attitudes towards their environments. Searching for new repertoires of everyday practices that contest commodification of both the body and the city, this thesis is oriented towards open-ended processes of constructing mentalities rather than those of planning changes on the material conditions of public space. It uses forms of academic investigation that merge intellectual debate and experimental practice, joining art, urbanism and social engaged practices in an extradisciplinary (Howes 2007) attitude towards the city. Based on the materials generated by the case studies (combining theoretical knowledge with artistic sensibility), the affective and corporeal involvement of researchers in the situations they analyze and co-create, is sustained in opposition to the traditional academic critical distance.
ARCHITECTURE AND ATMOSPHERE
(2011)
Nathalie Bredella is an architect. She was educated at the TU Berlin and Cooper Union, New York. She received a PhD in Architectural Theory. She taught architectural design at the TU Berlin. She ist the author of Architekturen des Zuschauens. Imaginäre und reale Räume im Film (transcript-verlag). The work is based on an interdisciplinary approach incorporating architecture, film theory and philosophy. Her interests in architectural practice focus on the relationship between spatial strategies, film and media on an urban and architectural scale.
Numerical models and their combination with advanced solution strategies are standard tools for many engineering disciplines to design or redesign structures and to optimize designs with the purpose to improve specific requirements. As the successful application of numerical models depends on their suitability to represent the behavior related to the intended use, they should be validated by experimentally obtained results. If the discrepancy between numerically derived and experimentally obtained results is not acceptable, a model revision or a revision of the experiment need to be considered. Model revision is divided into two classes, the model updating and the basic revision of the numerical model. The presented thesis is related to a special branch of model updating, the vibration-based model updating. Vibration-based model updating is a tool to improve the correlation of the numerical model by adjusting uncertain model input parameters by means of results extracted from vibration tests. Evidently, uncertainties related to the experiment, the numerical model, or the applied numerical solving strategies can influence the correctness of the identified model input parameters. The reduction of uncertainties for two critical problems and the quantification of uncertainties related to the investigation of several nominally identical structures are the main emphases of this thesis. First, the reduction of uncertainties by optimizing reference sensor positions is considered. The presented approach relies on predicted power spectral amplitudes and an initial finite element model as a basis to define the assessment criterion for predefined sensor positions. In combination with geometry-based design variables, which represent the sensor positions, genetic and particle swarm optimization algorithms are applied. The applicability of the proposed approach is demonstrated on a numerical benchmark study of a simply supported beam and a case study of a real test specimen. Furthermore, the theory of determining the predicted power spectral amplitudes is validated with results from vibration tests. Second, the possibility to reduce uncertainties related to an inappropriate assignment for numerically derived and experimentally obtained modes is investigated. In the context of vibration-based model updating, the correct pairing is essential. The most common criterion for indicating corresponding mode shapes is the modal assurance criterion. Unfortunately, this criterion fails in certain cases and is not reliable for automatic approaches. Hence, an alternative criterion, the energy-based modal assurance criterion, is proposed. This criterion combines the mathematical characteristic of orthogonality with the physical properties of the structure by modal strain energies. A numerical example and a case study with experimental data are presented to show the advantages of the proposed energy-based modal assurance criterion in comparison to the traditional modal assurance criterion. Third, the application of optimization strategies combined with information theory based objective functions is analyzed for the purpose of stochastic model updating. This approach serves as an alternative to the common sensitivity-based stochastic model updating strategies. Their success depends strongly on the defined initial model input parameters. In contrast, approaches based on optimization strategies can be more flexible. It can be demonstrated, that the investigated nature inspired optimization strategies in combination with Bhattacharyya distance and Kullback-Leibler divergence are appropriate. The obtained accuracies and the respective computational effort are comparable with sensitivity-based stochastic model updating strategies. The application of model updating procedures to improve the quality and suitability of a numerical model is always related to additional costs. The presented innovative approaches will contribute to reduce and quantify uncertainties within a vibration-based model updating process. Therefore, the increased benefit can compensate the additional effort, which is necessary to apply model updating procedures.
