The Project - bound Seminar taking place in the winter semester 23/24 between the University of Applied Arts Vienna (Expanded Museum Studies, Prof. Julienne Lorz) and the Vienna University of Technology, Architecture (Spatial Design, Prof. Wilfried Kuehn) will deal with a collection of the Architekturzentrum Wien from different perspectives but as a common experience.
 
Drawings, photographs, texts and works by Heinz Tesar as well as architectural photographs by Margherita Spiluttini will be available from the archive of the Architekturzentrum Wien. The archival material provides an analog reference to the subject matter, which will subsequently be worked on by the students across media. Based on the extensive works of Heinz Tesar and Margherita Spiluttini, and in exchange with curators of the AzW, conceptual reflections and analyses with further references are developed using various media (sketch, text, model construction, architectural photography, model photography, plan representation, ...).

A core aspect of the course is the exhibition as a medium, which should enable levels of mediation, bringing together different temporality(ies), real-spatial location, exhibits, research, presentation and discourse. 

As a result, students from both departments will work together in an interdisciplinary exchange to create an exhibition at the University of Applied Arts in March 2024. The students will develop and create their own displays for the exhibition.

The seminar is intended for students in the 3rd semester of Expanded Museum Studies.

You must register for both courses. "On Display" (Aaron Amar Bhamra & Basma Abu-Naim)
