Architectures take place in the midst of communities and societies. The responsibility this entails makes a critical historical and theoretical examination urgently necessary. In the winter semester, we will again address this responsibility from different perspectives by exploring waste spaces, borders in architecture and the significance of theory. We understand architectural theory as critical practice, which we want to exhibit together in the Architekturschaufenster and discuss with guests.

Architekturschaufenster Karlsruhe, Waldstraße 8, 76131 Karlsruhe

No colloquium, no lecture, no formalities: at our regular research brunch, we discuss work in progress in a relaxed setting. Across status groups and degrees of elaboration, researchers exchange ideas and projects in a constructive and cooperative atmosphere. Food and drink are provided, after all we want to nourish body and soul.

Once a month, the Chair of Architectural Theory gets in the way: as a "theory clinic" without an appointment in the middle of the hallway next to our offices. If you have questions about the design process, are looking for references, or want to do a test review, stop by. Through open discussion rounds and table critiques, we approach the relevant questions and neuralgic points - completely unbiased. Just show up, walk-ins are welcome (there might even be popcorn!).
