Topic of the seminar is to jointly create knowledge on different global architectural cultures. “We have entered a period of a gradual Post-Westernization of knowledge and the coproduction of transnational and non-hegemonic knowledge” (Roulleau-Berger/Yuzhao). Most categories of analysis in our field derive from Western experience and are nevertheless seen as universal. The task is to deconstruct this claim and to create a reformed universalism. In the seminar we aim to produce Post-Western knowledge pieces on the historic or better time dimension of architecture, based on critical approach and on the experience of the participants.
