Kaiser-Schloss / Humboldt-Forum

The open lecture series will bring together architects, urban planners, (science and art) historians, sociologists and philosophers in a discussion on architecture and science. With a view to current and historical solutions for building for science, perspectives for the future will also be developed and discussed: Does science (still) need a special housing? How do the demands of science with regard to representativeness and functionality relate to each other? Do the natural sciences, life sciences or the humanities formulate different demands on their buildings - and how can architects even meet these demands? How does the university define itself architecturally? Will the digital revolution change the research locations and knowledge stores of the future? How do the university and science position themselves architecturally in the metropolis and what urban-communicative offers do they make to society?
