If you ask ChatGPT how to write about architecture, the OpenAI program provides tips. You have to “understand” architecture, “read books” and “visit buildings”. Only then should one proceed to “description” and “analysis” and “link everything to society”. Sounds good? The only question is: How can AI writing programs help us with this? This Architectural Criticism seminar aims to find out.

Architectural criticism must develop new criteria in order to place buildings in the right relationship to the environment. In this seminar, the ecological view is particularly directed at concrete as a building material in order to clarify its criminal economy and aesthetic exaggeration.

The seminar investigates the potential and the limitations of architectural criticism. The course comprises theoretical reflection, discussions of architectural objects, as well as work on texts.

The doors of the D-Arch have been closed for over a year. We stayed at home and pretended digital teaching was still our concern. Meanwhile, over 4 million people worldwide died as a result of Corona, and the climate crisis is advancing, our construction industry is responsible for 38% of CO2 emissions. The time has never been so pressing. Let's start critique the status quo. Let's start writing.
