Analyzing Schinkel
History of architecture for architects has a two-fold purpose: getting to know the cultural fundaments of the discipline and improving design skills through studying historical designs. Our Schinkel seminar aims at the second.
We want to analyze Schinkels best projects to learn about basic aspects of design in general, whether it is in architecture, urban planning or interior design. Schinkels work addresses timeless problems of design and provides brilliant solutions. His projects are about aesthetics and politics, about the city and the landscape, about constructive details and conceptual strategies.
The seminar will look at selected projects of Schinkels work not primarily as historical objects but as examples of exemplary design solutions.
