"Wit-ness to Mat-Haroo Spirit is a series of charmingly written stories by architects Gurjit Singh Matharoo and Vagish Naganur that shed light on the nuanced relationships and challenges architects contend with. These anecdotes span a 30-year career, providing a fascinating insight into the inner workings of an acclaimed practice – an uncharted territory thus far in architectural writing. Filled with self-deprecating humour in its folds, it gives us a quirky look into the special place the profession occupies, going beyond mere physical edifices to symbolize culture, history, and human connections. The stories delve into themes of love, loss and the transient nature of human existence, etched deep into the pages of this book."

Where is the city center here?
At a time when it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a place to live in large cities
smaller towns are confronted with the opposite problem: Emptiness. According to the
"donut effect", this phenomenon begins in the core of city centers. In Dessau-Roßlau in particular, the reality of ageing and out-migration is rapidly coming to a head. Throughout Europe, however, innovative young projects are already looking for alternatives to meet this challenge. This is also the case in Dessau with the Young City Makers research project. Students from the Anhalt University of Applied Sciences' Departments of Design and Architecture have been conducting action research for two years to find out how vacant properties in Dessau-Rosslau's city center can be sustainably revitalized. Using different approaches, three vacant spaces were transformed into: an urban living room, a street gallery and a bizarre space. In doing so, they show how liveliness and community can be fueled by involving urban society and through design.
can be fueled by design. The final festival presents and reflects on the findings of the Young City Makers together with representatives from the city, administration, politics and universities. Two days with lectures, discussion panels, workshops, city rally, party & concert.
