International Workshop of the Architectural Sociology Working Group
2th – 3th of February 2012, Technische Universität Darmstadt, Room S3 20 / 18 (Rundeturmstraße 10)
Planning and building are deeply complex processes. The objective of architectural design is to provide solutions to problems that extend beyond spatial-functional requirements and which have aesthetic, social and cultural implications. The goal of this workshop is to discuss the social framework of planning and building using the example of the figure of the architect. We will examine the processes, routines and techniques that shape the production of architectural knowledge and inquire into the conditions of possibility that underlie the making of architecture. weiter
