Architectural Interventions: Visions of the Future from the 1960s to the 1990s (C07 [B06])

• Subject Area: Art History
• Term: since 2026
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 451897170

The subject of the project is architectural and literary visions of the future that emerged in the 1960s to 1990s as reactions to technology- and consumption-oriented concepts of the future as well as to economic, ecological, and social crises. They are interpreted as attempts to develop alternative spatial concepts and narratives beyond the logic of efficiency, consumption, and growth, thereby opening up new possibilities for action in a society increasingly perceived as being in crisis. The aim is to highlight interventions in historical and current architectural practices.
