| Abstract | The 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 objective | Students 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. | ||||||||||||||||||
