Bernd Streich

Bernd Streich (born April 27, 1951 in Hamburg ) is professor of urban planning and spatial planning in the field of digital information systems. The focus of his work is on digital media , computer-aided methods of urban space mapping and spatial observation as well as analyzes of the influence of the knowledge society on urban action. From 1990 until his retirement in 2016 he was responsible for the teaching and research area of ​​computer-aided planning and design methods in the department of spatial and environmental planning at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern .

Life

After completing secondary school and teaching, Bernd Streich studied surveying engineering and mathematics at the University of Hamburg from 1969 to 1972 at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences . This was followed from 1972 to 1977 by studying geodesy with a focus on urban planning at the University of Bonn . After completing his studies, from 1977 to 1987 he was a research assistant at Klaus Borchard's chair for urban development and settlement at the Faculty of Agriculture in Bonn. He then worked from 1987 to 1990 in the city planning office of the city of Essen in the area of ​​'general planning' (infrastructure planning, environmental planning, landscape planning), which also included setting up an independent computer department in the city planning office.

In 1983 the doctorate took place, under the aegis of Klaus Borchard and Edmund Gassner, at the University of Bonn with the dissertation topic 'Simulation of urban design with special consideration of the use of computers'. With his habilitation at the University of Bonn in 1987 and the habilitation thesis 'Basics of an urban development model theory', he was granted the license to teach the subject of 'urban planning and urban development' as a private lecturer. The subject of the public inaugural lecture was the handling of contaminated sites and soil contamination in urban planning.

During his time as a professor at the University of Kaiserslautern, which was later renamed TU Kaiserslautern, and as head of the department for 'Computer-Aided Planning and Design Methods in Spatial Planning and Architecture' (CPE), he took on a substitute professorship for the Chair of Urban Development and Settlements at the University of Bonn. Research during this period found in the field of the use of computer systems for the recovery of urban orientation values instead (based on methods of case-based inference / case-based reasoning ). After his retirement (emeritus) in October 2016 at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern, he continued to work in teaching and research as a 'senior professor' for one year. Publication activity is currently taking place in the field of digital technologies, the knowledge society and the planning-ethical implications of digital systems for urban planning.

At the beginning of the 1990s, Streich researched the possible applications of additive and subtractive computer-aided model building processes - which became known as rapid prototyping and 3D printing in the course of further development - in architecture and urban planning. In addition, there were research activities in the field of knowledge-based systems and expert systems in land-use planning as well as in the field of experimental design approaches with digital media in architecture and urban planning. Later, the research focus was on digital communication systems in the field of citizen participation, room sensors with mobile devices and the further development of citizen science in the field of urban planning. As a result of this work, several book publications have appeared. Publications on urban action in the post-digital age are in preparation.

In 2000, a team led by Professor Streich also selected the city of Meiningen in Thuringia as the "secret" capital of Germany from a geographical, topographical and spatial planning point of view.

Memberships

Streich is also a member of various committees:

• German Academy for Urban Development and Regional Planning (DASL)
• Academy for Spatial Research and Regional Planning (ARL)
• Liaison professor of the Friedrich-Ebert Foundation (FES).

In addition, he was chairman of the examination board of the TU Kaiserslautern for many years.
