The seminar on Territorial Strategies as part of Integrative Design with a focus on ‚extremes‘ is an exploration of the pressing challenges of our time: climate and social crises. The seminar will engage with a thought-provoking selection of texts from “The Parliament of Things”, “World Risk Society”, excerpts from “Ecologies of Inception” and selected works by Dehlia Hannah, Timothy Morton and other influential authors.

The seminar will be run like a book club. Reading selected texts and discussing them together will encourage the exchange of formulated thoughts, which will be reinforced with self-researched, appropriate reference texts. Speaking freely and argumentation are trained in the process. This is supplemented by an artistic exercise. This overlapping of discourse and artistic expression offers an integrative perspective that aims to encourage participants to approach today’s challenges of shaping an environment from different perspectives. The acquired knowledge is expressed in the final symposium ZUKUNFT ARCHITEKTUR 2, in which all participants actively take part in a panel discussion on relevant topics arising from the researched content.
