Abstract:
Can we read the landscape as a legacy entrusted to us? And how does this perspective change the way we interact with the landscape? As Architects How has our relationship with the landscape changed generally? Are we still allowed to build in the landscape? The lecture will be more about asking questions than providing answers, and yet possible answers can also be found within the works, which were created at the Chair of Architectural Design and Conception under the main theme traces and which will accompany the lecture as a visual trace.
