Mimetische Praktiken in der neueren Architektur: Prozesse und Formen der Ähnlichkeitserzeugung
Quotation, copy, montage, reconstruction, imitation and mimicry are typical approaches in the architect's daily routine. Until today, the paradigm of originality is still predominant and clouding the view on mimetic phenomena. In 2016, the convention "Resemblance: Processes and Forms" was held at the library of the Werner Oechslin foundation in Einsiedeln. This volume is a collection of twelve papers contributed to the convention and two additional articles by the editors. The focus was set on researching the methods of generating similarity in recent architecture and was organised by the projects encompassed by the DFG-SNF-research group "Media and Mimesis."
