Life

He studied in Stuttgart , Dortmund , Berlin and Berkeley . From 1979 to 1981 he worked at the Institute for Future Research at the Technical University of Berlin , then head of the Communication Center for Future and Peace Research in Hanover. In the mid-1980s he was Professor of Design at the Berlin University of the Arts .

He belonged to Robert Jungk's circle and was one of the pioneers of the international spread of the future workshop method . He developed his own forms of work with the future workshop and was a member of the Friends of the International Library for Future Issues / Robert Jungk Foundation. He was the author and co-editor of many articles in specialist journals and books, especially in the English-speaking area. Instigator and companion of numerous socio-ecological projects and alternative technology groups.

Encounters with Lutz at larger events were not always easy for everyone and occasionally ended in an argument.

He found his final resting place in the Tübingen mountain cemetery .
