| 079-0100-00L | Seminar Basics  Does not take place this semester. | O | 3 credits | 2S | S. Langenberg | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | The seminar provides an introduction to the basics of scientific work. It imparts methods of architectural and cultural studies, introduces participants to archive-based research and enables them to critically and analytically evaluate the sources consulted. Forms of communicating scientific results are also a topic of the seminar. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | The aim of the seminar is to qualify participants to apply methods of architectural and cultural studies in the evaluation of objects of the built environment. Participants are enabled to assess a building which they have selected in the form of a heritage conservation report. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | An essential basis for a responsible engagement with the built heritage is the ability to recognise its characteristics and peculiarities from an architectural scientific point of view, and to objectively elaborate on them. For this, knowledge of scientific methods is just as much a prerequisite as the ability to undertake purposeful research and to critically evaluate source material in order to productively include it in the analysis. The first part of the seminar is devoted to an introduction to scientific work in the fields of architectural and cultural studies. This lays the foundation for the second part, which deals with the independent scientific evaluation of a building which the participants choose individually. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 079-0101-00L | Seminar Texts on Preservation Does not take place this semester. | O | 3 credits | 2S | S. Langenberg | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | In the seminar, selected texts on architectural theory and monument preservation are read together and discussed in plenary. The focus is on selected writings from John Ruskin, Gottfried Semper and Friedrich Nietzsche to Alois Riegl and Adolf Loos to Walter Benjamin, Aleida Assmann and Peter Zumthor. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | Skills in reading complex theoretical and literary writings on architecture and monument preservation are taught. With increasing practice, these enable participants to undertake an independent appropriation of architectural theory and monument preservation content. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | The writings on architectural theory and historic preservation discussed in the seminar provide an overview of the most important theories and concepts of historic preservation. Ruskin’s narrative of architectural historicity, Semper’s conception of “Bekleidung” and Nietzsche’s transformation of mythology are covered, as are Riegl’s notions of “Erinnerungswert” and “Gegenwartswert”, Loos’ writings on architecture, Benjanmin’s notion of aura and Aleida Assmann’s memory space as well as Peter Zumthor's atmosphere. Each text is discussed in terms of textual structure, conceptual history, visual language, relationship to poetry and literature, strategies of theory, etc. Identifying the levels and intersections that link a theory with other theories characterises one of the main tasks of our seminar. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 079-0150-00L | Preservation Law Does not take place this semester. | O | 2 credits | 1G | S. Langenberg | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | The course elaborates the legal concept of “monument” in its important distinction from the respective scientific concept. It highlights its embeddedness and effect in public building law. Furthermore, it deals with legal protection instruments and procedures. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | In addition to elaborating the legal concept of monuments, the course familiarises participants with legal protection instruments and procedures. It is planned to involve the participants by means of practical examples. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | The first part is devoted to substantive preservation law: legal foundations and qualification of an object as a "monument", structural-legal aesthetics and architectural monument, scope of protection as well as prerequisites for protection. The second part deals with the procedures: Responsibilities of the various authorities/bodies, record of objects, provisional and definitive protection (in particular according to the protection objective and effect of the various protection instruments) and appellate proceedings. In accordance with the lecturer's (Dr. Dominik Bachmann) practical experience, formal preservation law is based on Zurich law, the principles of which, however, also apply in the monument preservation ordinances of the other cantons, which differ in detail. These are referred to selectively and by way of example. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 079-0151-00L | Theory and History of Preservation in the German-speaking Realm Does not take place this semester. | O | 2 credits | 2V | external organisers | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | The course provides an overview of theory formation in heritage conservation. The focus is on European history and German-language texts. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | The aim of the course is to familiarise students with the essential subject areas, the most important protagonists and lines of argumentation from antiquity to the 21st century, and to contrast the different approaches to thought and their development | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | In order to get to know the formation of theory, its paths and detours, the most important terms and persons in the history of monument conservation are introduced. Based on various texts, the history of the protection of architectural monuments since antiquity is illuminated. Further focal points in the history of monument preservation were during the Enlightenment, the French Revolution and in the process of the formation of nation states. The discourse on the concept and practice of monument conservation as we understand it today was led by a number of conservators in the German-speaking world around 1900. War-related destruction and the incipient building boom in Europe led to modern debates on the theory of monuments, which are still relevant today. Dealing with monument values is not an end in itself; it can be essential for the preservation of the monument or for historical mediation. Critical positions on the tasks, goals or practices of heritage preservation can only be developed against the background of a knowledge of its historical approaches. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
