Moving Architectures - Einzelansicht

This interdisciplinary seminar explores how the history of architecture and urbanism can be approached through the lenses of mobility, impermanence, and material flow. Focusing on portable buildings, extractive infrastructures, and construction on unstable terrains, we will rethink the built environment beyond permanence. Participants will engage critically with readings and guest lectures, while developing a writing practice around an "unsettling" museum object of their choice. The course is open to students interested in mobility, mediation, and transience in architectural history, both within and beyond Europe.

Teacher: Dr. Ksenia Litvinenko

Time and location Fridays: 24 October, 21 November, 23 January. 11:00–17:00. Location TBA. Each participant will also receive one 30-minute online consultation with the lecturer.

The course is open to all Bachelor, Master and PhD students of the faculties of Architecture and Urbanism, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Art and Design, and Media as part of the ”Interdisciplinary Study Program”.
