An evening focusing on how the climate crisis affects the writing of architectural history. As part of the "Future Heritage" exhibition, architects and curators from Israel and Germany will discuss the topic. The event centers on how space, city, and culture are constructed not only physically but also through narratives.
For decades, historians have researched, interpreted, and written about architecture as a narrative describing a continuum of styles, periods, and masterpieces, with a focus on humanity and the iconic structures created. Today, the writing of history as we knew it is changing: no longer just focusing on the architectural object and the individual, but on revealing the conditions for the emergence of architecture, such as infrastructure, economy, technology, politics, and relationships with natural systems. This is within the contemporary research discourse around the Anthropocene era, in which human activity is shaping and profoundly and enduringly altering the planet.
As part of the panel at the exhibition "Heritage of the Future," we will examine how the history of architecture is written. We will address questions like what is considered worthy of documentation, what is marginalized, and which layers of daily reality are not included in the narrative at all. We aim to expand the perspective on how space, cities, and culture are not just physically constructed, but also shaped by the stories told about them.
The exhibition curators "Heritage of the Future," Friedrich von Borries and Sabrina Cegla, will host curators, architects, and researchers from Germany and Israel for a discussion on writing architectural history in the Anthropocene age. A detailed program of the event and a list of speakers will be published later.
