Karola Dierichs and Robert Stock Contribute to Bauhaus Matters Conference
Cluster members Karola Dierichs and Robert Stock will present at the »Bauhaus Matters: Materials of Modernity« conference, taking place from 29 to 31 January in Dessau. They will discuss the findings of their interdisciplinary project, »Cultures of Co-Creation: Syntopia« at the third panel, which is entitled »Building as Assemblage«. The architect and the cultural historian will argue for a novel approach for so-called beetle-infested wood that takes the qualities of this often-undervalued material into account. The final discussion with Santiago del Hierro (ETH Zürich), Philipp Misselwitz (TU Berlin/Bauhaus Earth), and Hanna Le Roux (University of Sheffield) invites debate on current architectural and architectural research approaches in dialogue with the Bauhaus's architectural heritage. The panel will be moderated by Elke Beyer (Anhalt University of Applied Sciences)
The international conference under the banner of »Bauhaus Matters« interrogates the physical materials and the ideas at the core of the Bauhaus and its role within the narratives of modern architecture. For the complete program, please see the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation website.
