Wednesday, 16.03.2011 at 18.00h at the AA Lecture Hall

Held in the form of a public conversation or seminar, this event will explore architecture as an 'ordering of social relations through building', both through the presentation of provisional definitions and the interrogation of found case studies. 

Arno Brandlhuber is the founder of brandlhuber+ Berlin (since 2006). Since 2003 he has held the chair of architecture and urban research at the Academy of Fine Arts, Nuremberg and is directing the nomadic masters programme 042.org. His architectural practice extends from the ‘Neanderthal-Museum’ (Düsseldorf, Mettmann, 1996), to multi-usable structures such as the ‘Kölner Brett’ (Cologne, 2000) and currently the 'HybridHouses' (IBA Hamburg 2010-2012) and ‘Brunnenstrasse 9’.

Christian Posthofen is a philosopher with a focus on epistemology. He has taught at the Academy of Fine Arts, Nuremberg, is CEO at Walther König Books and editor of the Kunstwissenschaftliche Bibliothek.
