Ladies and gentlemen,
I would like to cordially invite you to the lecture series of the
LOEWE Research Cluster “Architectures of Order”, an interdisciplinary
research project of Goethe University Frankfurt, TU Darmstadt, the
German Architecture Museum, and the Max Planck Institute for Legal
History and Legal Theory.
Previous investigations of the LOEWE research cluster “Architectures
of Order” have shown us that spatial knowledge provides us with an
understanding of our world and a capacity to order it – a capacity
prominently mobilized in the field of architecture. Prerequisite to
this is a constant observance of notions of disorder: from disorder to
order, we make inroads into matters at hand until we feel able to
grasp what is at play. We find new logics where we did not see them
before, perceive new patterns in a seemingly disordered world. But in
an equally great proportion of circumstances, we observe processes
evolving from order to disorder. Based on this order | disorder
dialectic, the question our latest annual theme aims to tackle regards
the evolution of the notion of order as imminently dependent on
disorder, with its changes and discontents throughout time. Within
this large framework, the lectures taking place in the lecture series
“order I disorder” in the summer 2023 term focus on two subject areas:
reevaluation of the concept of the ruin as a testament to life cycles
of design orders, and focusing on architectural practice the dynamics
of order | disorder in computational design.
