“Organizing Architectures” is an interdisciplinary DFG-funded research training group that, together with several universities and research institutions in Hesse, aims to promote innovative qualification work by excellent young researchers. This highly interdisciplinary and international study and research program enables multi-perspective work that addresses the tension between architectural production and social processes. How do built or planned structures shape (public) spaces and social dynamics? How do social processes and discourses materialize in architecture? And how does this then impact society?

    Reimagining the Saalbau in Post-Migrant Frankfurt

    Postdoc Projects
    Visual Fragmentation of the Saalbau. This collage brings together architectural details from different Saalbau halls across Frankfurt.
