  • Tomorrow, we conclude the quarter with the final lecture in this season of the Delft Lectures on Architectural History and Theory series. Carola Hein will present a lecture titled Ecologies and Economies. As part of the Situating History: Vignettes on Critical and Global Approaches to Architectural Research series, Birgitte Louise Hansen will present her vignette: The performative aspects of reading and responding to contexts: ecological methodologies and matters of the mind The vignette will give examples from practice-related research. Three different scenarios will be used to discuss interconnectivity, situated-ness and fundamental meaning-making: From the food forest ecosystem to the ecology of practice perspectives. The presentation offers tools to research: To deal with systems – factual and propositional – that are living, discursive-pedagogical, or interpretive disciplinary. Dr. arch. Birgitte Louise Hansen is an independent researcher, an architect and an educator. She graduated from Royal Danish Academy, School of Architecture and has a PhD in Architecture from TU Delft (Architectural Thinking in Practice).

  • Tomorrow, the Delft Lectures on Architectural History and Theory resume with Carola Hein’s lecture, Time and Temporality. As part of the Situating History: Vignettes on Critical and Global Approaches to Architectural Research series, Eireen Schreurs will present her vignette, Genetic Criticism in Architecture. In her vignette, Schreurs considers an interdisciplinary research technique originally developed in literary studies. Translated into architecture, genetic criticism adds a distinct temporal perspective to the discussion of the architectural project. While critically assessing its assumptions and principles, she will discuss how the strategy of studying the genesis of a project helps to understand architecture as a creative practice, with buildings as dynamic entities that evolve spatially and materially over time. She will illustrate some of the applications with examples from her dissertation and recent research.

  • Tomorrow, we continue the Delft Lectures on Architectural History and Theory with another vignette from the Situating History: Vignettes on Critical and Global Approaches to Architectural Research series. This week, Sabina Tanovic presents her vignette: Destruction, Remembrance, Erasure and (Re)action. The focus of this vignette will be on a selection of key themes that are central to the discourse surrounding architecture and violence. Drawing from her research and community-centered architectural practice, Sabina Tanović will explore critical issues such as the implications of preserving traumatic historical events, weaponization of memory, and the significance of confronting contemporary destruction through the framework of architectural production. As we approach the holiday break, this will be our last vignette for 2024. We look forward to continuing the series in the new year with exciting lectures and discussions.

  • Tomorrow, the Delft Lectures on Architectural History and Theory continue with Carola Hein’s lecture, People and Practices. As part of the Situating History: Vignettes on Critical and Global Approaches to Architectural Research series, Vincent Baptist will present Streetscape as Community Archive. In his vignette, Vincent Baptist introduces the various research endeavours he has conducted over the past years, in both independent and collaborative settings, within the southern port peninsula of Katendrecht, Rotterdam. Having developed from a Chinatown and red-light district to a gentrified neighbourhood nowadays, Vincent illustrates how his historical and participatory inquiries into Katendrecht and its communities always started from Jane Jacobs’ famous premise to simply look and listen carefully to layered everyday urban sceneries.

  • Tomorrow, the Delft Lectures on Architectural History and Theory series continue with Carola Hein’s lecture, Places and Flows. The session will also include a vignette from the Situating History: Vignettes on Critical and Global Approaches to Architectural Research program. Doctoral researcher Serah Calitz 🟥 will present Plant Architectures of Mining Histories. In her vignette, Calitz reflects on how architectural history tools and concepts illuminate the design of water, energy, and food (WEF) systems within South Africa’s mining industry. Her research traces the ecological and economic interdependencies between forestry and mining, focusing on mine-owned eucalyptus plantations that shaped the economies of the Witwatersrand goldfields in the early 20th century.

  • Today, we continue the Delft Lectures on Architectural History and Theory with another vignette from Situating History: Critical and Global Approaches to Architectural Research. This week, architectural historian Aart Oxenaar presents his vignette Transforming Amsterdam: The Architectural Historian at Work. In his vignette, architectural historian Aart Oxenaar discusses the importance of architectural history for the inventarisation, investigation and appraisal of the historic buildings and urban plans of the city of Amsterdam. He reflects on the changing role of the architectural historian in discussing the transformations of this historic substance. Both based on his personal experience as an advisor to the city. Looking forward to today's discussions.

  • Today we’re kicking off this year’s Delft Lectures on Architectural History and Theory, our core master’s course at Delft University of Technology. With about 550 students joining us, we’re excited to see the fresh perspectives they’ll bring! This year, we feature, Situating History: Vignettes on Critical and Global Approaches to Architectural Research, which brings together a series of short talks by different speakers, each sharing case studies and research methods from around the world. We’re starting today with Catja Edens’ vignette: And the Rest is History… On the Archival Representation of Women Architects And the Rest is History… On the Archival Representation of Women Architects investigates how notions of architectural authorship have impacted the inclusion of women in architectural archives, affecting architectural history and canon. This project identifies the architectural archive as a crucial field of action. With its author-based system, the archive possesses both the responsibility and the opportunity to define architectural authorship. By tracing the impact of traditional notions of authorship on archival policies, systems, and practices, this project brings into view how the legacies of women have remained under-recognized or under-valued by architectural archives and have largely remained outside the architecture-historical narrative. Looking forward to a great semester ahead!

  • Join us this afternoon, 20 June 2024, at 18:00 in Berlagezaal 1 at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, TU Delft, for the public seminar "Designing for Extremes: Heritage Strategies to Sea Level Rise in Scheveningen, The Hague." This seminar is part of the nXr | Designing for Extremes: Heritage Strategies to Sea Level Rise Adaptation International Workshop, taking place in Scheveningen from 17 to 21 June. The workshop is a continuation of over 10 years of fruitful collaboration between the Netherlands and Brazil on "Water as Heritage: Visions and Strategies to Address Sea Level Rise." This year, the Netherlands eXchange Recife (nXr) focuses on protecting and adapting The Hague, the political capital of the Netherlands. As we plan for the next fifty years, we must look a century ahead: what are the visions for the Port of Scheveningen in 2124? The frontline team includes key players such as the RCE (Agency of Cultural Heritage of the Kingdom of the Netherlands - Ministry of Science, Culture and Education), the Municipality of The Hague, and TU Delft, alongside Brazilian counterparts from the Climate-Network of Brazil (Ministry of Science and Innovation of Brazil), Recife City Hall, and the Federal University of Pernambuco.
