“In transforming cities, feasibility is essential and, therefore, so are knowledge of client and user context, program, process and revenue models. This requires a new approach to research and education.”
As Professor of Transformational Design, Paul focuses on the relationship between current design practice and education. His research group is developing expertise in reevaluatiing the usefulness of post-war cities and examining new uses for buildings, based on current and expected economic and social changes. With programmatic adjustments, architectural improvements and good urban planning, a careful and sustainable improvement of the city can take place. Cooperation with the market and the public sector are very important in this respect.
