Public Lectures at International PhD Course

To different extents, any architectural involvement with a place or situation means interlacing oneself into existing narratives. History is just an interpretation of the past, formed in the present but also based on previous interpretations and narratives. The public lectures, which are part of the third module of the International Doctoral Course "Approaching Research Practice in Architecture", will give insights into relevant perspectives of historical studies and will explore the history of practice-oriented research in architecture.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN HISTORIES

Lectures by Helena Mattson (KTH Stockholm) and Jonathan Hill (The Bartlett, UC London) will deepen the topic of critical historiography and the topical question of architectural practice in its relation to academia and research. Lectures by Ole W. Fischer (University of Utah, Salt Lake City) and Andreas Putz (TUM) will address the history of postgraduate research in architecture in its relation to practice and design. We will reflect upon the historic emergence of doctorates in architecture in the context of crises and transformations of the profession, and ask, if the increasing significance of post-graduate programs today is indicating renewed changes in the discipline or the academic context only.
