After successful completion of the course, students are able to assess sacred buildings and spaces of different religions, their impact and perception, appreciation or rejection according to different aspects. The focus is on interreligiously and interculturally used architectures and places.
Interfaith Architecture and Spaces
Within the framework of two study days (second half of January 2022), trends, tendencies, opinions as well as current tenders and competition entries in the field of "interreligious/intercultural architecture" will be presented and discussed. Experts from architecture, culture, religion, science and politics are invited to the lectures. Last but not least, the participants in the elective seminar (251.873 Elective Seminar "Interreligious and Intercultural Architecture") will also have the opportunity to present a selection of their research results from the current semester.In the run-up to the presentation, the students (compulsory) take part in an introduction to scientific work, literature research, literature management, writing abstracts and exposés.
The students will not only passively participate in the lectures, but must also be able to critically assess the presented contents. Independent and targeted research must therefore be a self-evident part of the job!
The LVA will take place in the form of "study days" in the second half of January 2022, (two days, from 10:00 to 18:00)
PROGRAM:
Attendance at the lectures is compulsory and participants must be prepared to actively participate in online discussions and to submit oral statements after the individual lectures.
