Agenda 2019

In January «Kern exactly 200! PLUS» will focus on photogrammetry. For this purpose, the City Museum and the Kern working group are setting up a large device of the former traditional company in the foyer, which was used worldwide in the 1960s to 1980s to draw maps from aerial photographs. Every Wednesday and Sunday from 2 to 4 p.m. visitors are given the opportunity to do their own work. With a little skill and under the expert guidance of former Kern employees you will soon know how to turn the hand wheel to make the map work! We also offer insights into the principle of stereography, which is the basis for photogrammetry, and make photographs appear three-dimensional. You can find more information and a film introducing photogrammetry on Kern Aarau's Facebook page.

A tour of the Kern Study Collection will give you a glimpse of the little know world of surveying technology, drawing and lenses. Using carefully selected items light will be shed in a varied and entertaining way on the history of Kern the company, outstanding products and interesting features of the 170 year company history. The tour lasts one hour and is suitable for people of all ages with an interest in technical complexities. More information.

Everything is landscape! And what does that have to do with me? Lecture by Prof. Dr. Anne Brandl, Professor for Spatial Development, University of Liechtenstein

Three-quarters of all Swiss people live in an urban landscape like the Alpine Rhine Valley. Settlement areas, transport infrastructures, open spaces close to settlements and open landscape structures penetrate, overlap and mix. It is not always quite clear where one place ends and the next begins. We can be in St. Gallen or Bregenz quickly for shopping, in the woods with the dog in ten minutes or with the children at the lake. We see cows on our bike tour and reach various theatres, cinemas and museums within half an hour. We perceive this as well as the city and countryside, dense and wide, loud and quiet, church tower and high-rise as an attractive location and quality of life. We live in a region that offers us everything. But do we appreciate the qualities of our urban landscapes enough? Landscape is an area as it is perceived by man. Its character is the result of the effect and interaction of natural and human factors. Landscape is a collective good. As we live, so does our landscape. The inward building density resulting from the revised spatial planning law will change the appearance and qualities of our urban landscapes. It is therefore high time to discuss together what is important to us about our urban landscapes. Information and registration: www.vhs-rheintal.ch
