Konzept Campus: Transformationen des universitären Feldes

The spaces in which academic research and teaching take place are often considered a minor matter. For the most part, they only receive attention when drastic changes are made. It then becomes clear that the campus has always offered space for very different designs.he contributions in this volume address historical and contemporary transformations of the campus. Distinctive architectural examples from Germany, but also from the Anglo-Saxon and French contexts are discussed. Political programs, ideological charges and critical perceptions of modern university spaces are made visible. The medial dimension of the built environment is also discussed. What is the role of artistic research and intervention in this? Can they uncover, subvert or even break the dominant logics of the campus and thus open it up for new appropriations?
