Context as Device. The Fiction of Place and the Real of Narrative

+++ VERY UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE TO POSTPONE THE CONFERENCE DUE TO THE CURRENT ISSUES REGARDING COVID-19. WE ARE CURRENTLY REVIEWING OPTIONS AND WILL INFORM EVERYONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. PLEASE ACCEPT OUR APOLOGIES FOR ANY INCONVIENCES THIS MAY CAUSE. +++

With this conference, we aim to present contemporary positions in architectural discourse and practice that have offered complex and already influential descriptions of contextual relations. It is our hope that we can gain a more refined understanding of the diverse ‘contexts’ that shape architectural projects in relation to the demands of place as well as of discourse. We want to stress the importance of narratives and related design techniques that help to establish critical dialogues between, building, place, and discipline.

The conference is organized by Codeks, Wuppertal, and Bergische Universität, Wuppertal.

>>> Die Veranstaltung wird als Fortbildung mit einem Umfang von 4 Unterrichtsstunden zu 45 Minuten für die Mitglieder der Architektenkammer Nordrhein-Westfalen in den Fachrichtungen Architektur und Innenarchitektur anerkannt. <<<
