The Architecture Chat (Lecture Series)
This summer, we have welcomed six guests to listen to and discuss their recent publications, seeking creative ways to bridge intellectual traditions with new narratives in the face of prescient political and natural realities.
Maya Christodoulaki launches the Architecture Chat lecture series, which is co-moderated by Tim Altenhof, Miro Roman, and Heinz-Karl Machat, and has received valuable support from the Vice-Rectorate for Research and the Dean of Architecture.
The first film by the citizens' initiative HouseEurope! takes a critical look at the role of the construction industry in global real estate speculation, which leads to the destruction of existing buildings.
Film screening followed by a panel discussion with Kathrin Aste, Stefan Behnisch, Arno Brandlhuber and Giacomo Ardesio (moderation).
Exhibition as Work of Art
Symposium @ Ferdinandeum
Exhibitions are spaces of encounter and communication. They facilitate the interaction between objects, texts, multimedia components and moving visitors in space.
Narrative strands and stories evolve from an interplay of exhibits put together along a path scientifically, artistically, and above all aesthetically. In certain moments, exhibits can unleash their full visual power. In so doing, they allow exhibitions to offer informative glances, visual delights and emotional stimuli.
The symposium served as a platform for the exchange of different perspectives on the subject of exhibition design.
