seminar is dedicated to the latter. The subject of
investigation will be the relationship between disruptive
modernist architectures of the 1920s-30s
and innovative products of those years. As primary
sources we will make use of product advertisements
in leading modernist journals as well as
the reports contained therein on modern buildings
that were created using the advertised products.
The seminar is the tenth part of a series devoted
to the environmental history of architecture.

Case Study: First Market Hall
The 19th century market is a widespread typology
and as such, it was defined like any modern industry;
its material supply and product output were
only possible thanks to the overlay of multiple
infrastructure networks defined by and for its
specific location. As one of the many crossroads
between rural and urban areas, the study of its
characteristics and its material and energy flows
throughout history could serve as a starting point
for a more comprehensive study of Karlsruhe‘s
environmental history. The goal of the seminar is
to explore various tools of architectural research
such as archival information, images, diagrams,
and models to examine, uncover, and communicate
the traces of Karlsruhe‘s overlapping
infrastructural layers in order to create an „urban
biography“ of the city.

Preservation_ History, Tasks, Goals
The seminar provides basic knowledge about the
fundamentals of modern monument preservation:
What is monument preservation today and
how has it developed into this? What should be
protected and preserved? Why do we carry out
monument preservation, who benefits from it,
what goal does it pursue and what categories
of cultural monuments are there? What are the
methods of historic preservation and what are the
challenges in dealing with cultural monuments?
Questions like these will be worked on in study
groups and discussed during the seminar using
examples from practice. The insights will be deepened
during an excursion to the UNESCO World
Heritage Site Baden-Baden.
