International Workshop of the Architectural Sociology Working Group: The Making of Architects / Architecture in the Making

Workshop, 2 - 3 Şubat 2012 tarihleri arasında Almanya'da gerçekleşiyor.

Registration deadline: Jan 20, 2012

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.

The Architectural Sociology Working Group (AG Architektursoziologie) is a collaboration between the Cultural Sociology Section and the Urban and Regional Sociology Section within the German Sociological Association (DGS).

Organizers: Monika Grubbauer and Silke Steets (both TU Darmstadt)
