Workshop with the Center for Critical Studies in Architecture (CCSA)

The workshop engages with the architectural theory congress held at the Technical University of Berlin in 1967, which is regarded as a pivotal moment in the formation of architectural theory within the German university context. On the occasion of the centenary of Oswald Mathias Ungers in 2026, the congress will be subjected to a critical re-reading. Ungers invited to the congress because the first chair for architectural theory at the TU Berlin was about to be announced.
The workshop is being held in collaboration with the Center for Critical Studies in Architecture (CCSA) and, in particular, the Deutsches Architekturmuseum (DAM), which is closely associated with the architect Ungers. With the DAM (inaugurated in 1984), Ungers constructed a building that may be considered a manifesto in itself, reflecting his own architectural and theoretical reflections on the "thematization of architecture" and morphological design.
This is an internal event, organized by the Lise Meitner Group “Coded Objects”.
