Teaching in and with the saai Archive

Orientation week for the first semester students in the saai archive (WS 24/25)

During the O-Week, Tom Wilkinson and Hannah Knoop from the Chair of Architectural Theory took the first semester students on a tour of some of the historical buildings in Karlsruhe, then visited the saai archive depot in the "Alte Münze" and the exhibition on the city's history in the city museum in the Prinz Max Palais. The next day, the students were given the task of suggesting improvements to Kaiserstraße based on Hans Bayer's post-war proposals, which they presented in the form of collages.

Seminars on the anniversary exhibition

To mark the 200th anniversary of the university, which was founded in 1825 by Friedrich Weinbrenner and Johann Gottfried Tulla as the Polytechnic University, the Chair of Building and Architectural History is coordinating an exhibition by the Faculty of Architecture. The exhibition focuses on built objects that originated from the faculty over the past two centuries and made a decisive contribution to the development of Kalrsruhe as an urban environmental system. The content is developed at various professorships as part of seminars, which generally also include archive research at the saai, the city archives and the General State Archives (GLA). Currently, in addition to the history of construction and architecture, the professorships for city and housing, international urban planning, urban district planning, construction planning and design, landscape architecture and interior design are also involved.
