AbstractThe question of cause and effect of architecture is an old one. Can a building not only reflect, but promote or even spark societal change? Does architecture have transformative agency? The seminar is organized transhistorically and seeks to illuminate various forms of architectural mediality.
Learning objectiveStudents practice reading source texts and secondary literature closely, interpreting them, and reflecting on them in short texts and verbal exchanges.

They examine the interplay of architectural-urban structures and messages conveyed through them.

The effects of architecture are addressed both in direct spatial terms and in a comprehensive social, political and economic context. These effects are also linked and discussed in terms of building-cultural concerns.

Through guest lectures, students gain insight into different perspectives and scientific approaches. The questions and historiographical methods are then discussed with the guests in the seminar.
LiteratureWill be announced on the class platform.
