Offizielle Kursbeschreibung
This subject works on the premise of architecture at the intersection of identity, culture and otherness. Urban environments have been substantially transformed by increasing socio-cultural diversity through transnational migration as a result of globalised economies in the late twentieth and early twenty-first century (Saunders 2014). In this scenario, Architecture does the work of mediating between cultures and the soft entry into a culture is when familiar objects, artefacts, buildings and even street patterns begin to contain aspects of cultural difference.
Framed within the context of globalization, this seminar then aims to look at architecture as a practice that mediates cultural encounters and it does so in stages, hence the seminar will provide an overview of how architecture does it in an urban context, how it does it in a street pattern or even in a spatial template which might be altered over time and what are the resultant consequences and responses at those different scales and different geographical locations as sites of emigration or immigration.
The course is designed as a reading seminar; i.e. the focus is on the textual work as well as the readiness for a committed engagement with what was read in the seminar.
