[b]Architecture, Photography, and the Glass Slide Collection of the Department "History of Architecture and Art"[/b]
The slide library of the Department "History of Architecture and Art" contains around 60,000 glass slides that were used as teaching aids to train architects in the early post-war era. The collection is of great value regarding science history, media history, photo theory, and cultural policy. Currently, the collection is partly being cataloged, digitized, and made accessible to the public. The glass slide collection gathers photographs of buildings from all epochs of architectural history and thus lends itself to examining compositional issues in architectural photography. In the seminar, we will examine the systematics of the glass slides in the collection, the architectural and art historical canon they represent, architectural photographic strategies and practices, and technical and theoretical aspects of the photographic. The goal is to develop an exhibition that focuses on the history of the collection, the technical history of the medium, the glass slide as a teaching tool, and photographic issues. Thus, in addition to examining the collection, we will also deal with photography as a medium in curatorial practice.
