| Content | Critical Preservation Urban fabric+ Materiality+ Memory Studies Critical Preservation (U+M+M) is focused on new readings of media, philosophy of material cultures, preservation and memory studies. Some central questions of the seminar are: What does heritage mean today and what are the new media of critical preservation? How to decode material cultures? What are the marginal stories of asphalt, concrete, plastic, glass, clay, wood? How to preserve politically and ideologically charged heritage and what is the response of new media (e.g., in the conflict zones). How to read the paradoxes connecting military aesthetics and memory studies? (for example: appropriating drones, scanning devices, night vision and infra-red and x-ray technologies as technics for critical preservation). And finally, what are the tools to exhibit the tangible and intangible Heritage? On the one hand, preservation is a highly applied field of studies, on the other hand, students will learn to expand their knowledge to the territories of: law, archeology, museology, material cultures, neurosciences. The course will be joined by experts: Ines Weizman (Royal College of Art, London), Jorge Otero-Pailos (Columbia University, NY ) and Evangelos Kotsioris (Architecture, MoMa, NY). The course is conducted in collaboration with Schaulager, Vitra Design Museum and Kunstmuseum Basel. |
| Learning objectives | Aims and Assessment: The course is designed in collaboration with Schaulager, Vitra Design Museum and Kunstmuseum Basel.
