Language

Lecturer(s)
Natalie Körner (Associate Professor at the Institute for Architecture and Space) and Aisling O’Carrol: (Assistant Professor of Landscape Architecture and Geohistorical Practice, ETH Zurich)
Course description
The course is for PhD students who use architecture and landscape architecture history in their PhDs. We will discuss sources, methodologies, and ways in which history can be activated for present-day concerns. The students will get a reading pensum and they will have to give 15–20-minute paper presentations.
There will be 2 lectures: First, Natalie Körner will speak about combing architectural and archival sources (letters, court cases) to get a better sense of past models of inhabitation. Natalie Körner will show how she has used and made reconstruction drawings and how she is making sense of present-day concerns (especially linked to digital culture) by relating them to architecture historycases.
Aisling O'Carroll will talk of her methodology of using reconstruction in landscape architecture, using a variety of source material, artistic media and methods.
Participants will use one of the provided pensum texts in their papers. The pensum will form the theoretical foundation of the course, and ensure common ground for discussion, even when the individual PhD topics are quite different.
