SHAPING POSTCOLONIAL WORLDS: OTTO KOENIGSBERGER AND THE NETWORKS OF THE INTERNATIONAL PLANNING CONSULTANT.
Birkbeck, University of London and the Architectural Association Archives invite applications for a three-year or six-year part-time Collaborative Doctoral Award beginning 1 October 2019.
This PhD research, supported through the CHASE Doctoral Training Partnership, will examine the post-WW2 work and influence of Otto Koenigsberger (1908-99) as part of the postwar phenomenon of the international planning consultant.
Research for the project will be centred on the Otto Koenigsberger Papers at the Architectural Association Archives. Donated in 2012, the papers are of remarkable scope, documenting every phase of his career. The research will focus on the long final phase of Koenigsberger’s career, to which the majority of papers are devoted. Alongside a completed PhD thesis, the student will be expected to contribute substantially to the cataloguing of the Koenigsberger Papers, to curate an exhibition on one aspect of Koenigsberger’s work and to organize a one-day conference on the larger phenomenon of the international planning consultant.
