DESCRIPTION:Prof. Dr. Peter Schwehr\, Lucerne University of Applied Scienc
 es and Arts\, Competence Center Typology & Planning in Architecture (CCTP)
 \nOur built environment consists of spaces\, buildings\, and cities that a
 re subject to ever-changing social\, economic\, ecological and cultural de
 mands. The demand for high quality living space is becoming ever more sign
 ificant for densifying urban areas. When lifestyles\, modes of working and
  recreational activities intertwine\, new concepts on all scales must foll
 ow. Consideration of resilience of all kinds is becoming an important part
  of planning. It requires typologies with resilient characteristics\, whic
 h can also take on new tasks perhaps not yet known of today. We recognise 
 such a typology in the hybrid. Hybrids possess a variety of characteristic
 s and benchmark parameters. A code inherent in them renders them capable o
 f reacting to various situations and differing requirements. Depending on 
 its constitution and purpose\, the hybrid code affects a variety of archit
 ecturally relevant\, environmental levels\, namely district\, neighbourhoo
 d\, building\, unit\, components\, infrastructure and processes. "Hybridis
 ation" describes the process of the deliberate application of this code on
  all levels ("design and injection")\, albeit also its decoding\, i.e. act
 ivation of processes of change. In this way "new genetic alliances" are cr
 eated\, in which differing hybrids interact. By offering advanced adaptabi
 lity through HYBRIDisation\, buildings become resilient to change and allo
 w for diverse modification and development throughout their lifespan\, res
 ulting in improved learning ability. This presentation explores strategies
  of HYBRIDisation and the consequences for the interlinked levels to enabl
 e hybrid and resilient levels of environment.
