Contacts

The Karlsruhe Architecture Lectures in the winter semester 2023/24
Übersicht

Contacts can be dangerous. We have learnt that during the pandemic. But contacts are also essential for developing social entities, for constituting knowledge communities and for acting in a societally responsible manner. Compared to the systemically complex idea of networking, personal contact seems almost touchingly anachronistic. Nevertheless, its directness is also powerful and satisfying. In the post-pandemic period, the KIT Department of Architecture has deliberately increased the number of contacts both externally and internally. This is impressively documented in the recently published Yearbook 2023. This year's lecture series follows on from this. We have invited six personalities with whom we want to get into contact in order to be "infected": by ideas and positions that are themselves in contact with relevant realities and that establish contacts between inside and outside, nature and city, between concepts and realities, places and contexts.
