burgdorf theory seminars

 

How and where do architects position themselves nowadays? Which themes are relevant? Which methods are successful? Which partnerships are helpful? The theory seminars in Burgdorf survey the work area and the working environment of architecture. Careful consideration is given in lectures, debates and workshops to permanent changes in the social, economic and cultural einvironment. Any new opportunities for architectural work offered by changes are pinpointed; scrutiny of historic structures is complemented by an intent look at the present. The concept of architecture as a hybrid and networked discipline, with architectural design at its core, forms an important fundamental element of the seminars.

 

Seminar S1, transformation + methods, aims to raise the students' awareness of current changes to the built environment and ties this to an introduction to various architectural working methods.

Seminar S4, office + context, discusses the situation of architects and their networks between the priorities of economy and culture.

Seminar S7, creative cluster, concentrates on the complex interplay of information, communication and space within the specific field of the business of creativity.
