Sorge für die Zukunft: Architekturerbe, Verletzlichkeit und Kollektivitäten
Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
Architecture is increasingly under attack on a global scale. It is not just the theatre of violent urban conflicts or the battleground of armed struggle, and the destruction of buildings is not just a means of achieving a military objective or a case of collateral damage. Rather, architecture itself has become a primary target of aggression. Architecture obviously matters. It is important to people in a symbolic and a material sense, it provides shelter, and it provides cultural meaning. Architecture is an essential part of social life, but it can thus also function as a medium of violence. The societal value of architecture often remains implicit, unspoken. What it means to people, however, becomes particularly palpable in the moment of its destruction. The project explored how people feel attached to “their” architecture, and how this becomes obvious in the moment of loss. On the basis of three case studies, each of them introducing a particular focus, the project examined how the destruction of architecture matters: the fire of the Notre-Dame de Paris in 2019 that aroused people’s compassion worldwide across different religious backgrounds and national belonging; the public debate around the project of reconstructing a synagogue that had fallen victim to the Nazi pogroms in Hamburg, which testifies to a changing memory culture in Germany and the desire to begin a new chapter of Jewish life; and the urbicide that took place in Ukraine during Russia's full-scale invasion of the country, which tells us how architecture is connected to the lives of people. As an artifact, architecture is never an isolated object. It is woven into the urban fabric, it affects people, and its destruction speaks about life and death, and the fragility of civilized life.
