Abstract

As the contested capital of three world religions, Jerusalem has a firm place in the history of the city. But who financed and profited, then as now, from building in this place? What new methodological insights do we get when we look at the key buildings of Jerusalem both in terms of morphology and territoriality on the one hand and from the perspective of their financing on the other?

Objective

Students will gain an understanding of the interaction between the client, the form of financing and the territorial situation of architecture. This includes looking at multiple actors: religious, philanthropic, and charitable institutions; government agencies as well as instruments of taxation; and the global networks and capital flows that enable them.

Content

Visit of key buildings and sites with lectures and guided tours; development of analyses of the intersections between city and architecture.

Resources

Literature

Will be announced on the class platform.
