Seminar Architekturkritik: Die andere Institution, Teil II (A. Stahl)

Abstract

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.

Objective

In this seminar, writing is taught as a craft, and text work as well as journalistic strategies for its publication are dealt with intensively. The research materials that were put together by the students in part I of the seminar last semester will serve as a basis: We will deal with mental health issues from before and during the pandemic, as well as the absence of ecology in teaching, among others.
