History and Theory of Architecture IV
Architekturgeschichte und -theorie IV
This two-semester lecture course introduction on the history of architecture focuses on "things of modernity" -elements, buildings, and networks from the Second Industrial Revolution of the 1850s to the oil crisis of the 1970s in Europe that changed architecture. We will consider how the technical, scientific and cultural significance of these "Things" makes them key features of modernity.

History of Architecture and Art V
Architektur- und Kunstgeschichte V
The term "baroque" as described within the context of the history of art towards the late 19th century is strongly characterised by a formal approach. In this course exemplary objects will be studied to reposition the architectural form into its inherent broader cultural context, thus establishing a more comprehensive understanding of the term baroque.
History of Architecture and Art VI
Architektur- und Kunstgeschichte VI
The lecture examines the art and architecture of Roman Baroque. Based on selected objects the political, religious and social conditions of the production of art in early modern Rome are presented, thus illustrating, beyond the distinction between architecture, sculpture and painting, the function and development of baroque art between the artists’ ‚ingenio’ and religious propaganda.
As soon as modern science started to measure, adapt, and shape its surroundings, the environment became part of the architectural debate. Amid the current crisis, the seminar explores the longstanding yet often overlooked relationship between architecture and the environment, which has continually evolved with societal, economic, and cultural shifts, revealing a range of architectural responses.
The seminar focuses on historically contextualising contemporary urgencies, discourses, and practices around ecology in architecture, with the goal of writing a environmental history of modern architecture.
Combining readings in architectural history and critique with analyses of designs, this seminar addresses how the visual emphasis has manifested itself and become predominant in architectural discourse and practice, and analyzes attempts to overcome it by turning attention to other sensory modalities in architectural experience in the context of materiality, technology, and culture.

Thinking through architectural ecologies is as old as the first built structures, that much is clear by now. But why then has an environmental history of architecture, until today, failed to positively impact the nature of present-day building? Considering this failure as a shortcoming in the writing of history, this seminar delves into the repositories of historical knowledge: archives.

History, Criticism and Theory in Architecture: Built Accidents
Geschichte, Kritik und Theorie in der Architektur: Gebaute Unfälle
The accident as a sudden and unforeseeable event contradicts the rational aspirations of modern architecture, even if with every new invention its failure is simultaneously designed. How does modernity deal with its accidents and what explanatory patterns are used to place the disastrous events back into a structure of meaning?
What is the relationship between mental maps, plans and places? On the one hand, the built environment can be represented as a map, an instrument that helps us orient in space but also changes our mental image of it. On the other hand, maps allow us to represent mental states. In this reading seminar, we explore how maps mediate the relationship between the built environment and the self.
This course will unpack the agency of a wide range of devices, gadgets and apparatuses in the design of buildings, the experience of the city and the mediation of social relations in the modern era.
