all, the production of space includes practical as well as symbolic=20
kinds of actions which are culturally specific and want to be reflected=20
as such. In addition, both disciplines have own theoretical approaches=20
to the problem of space which historically have influenced each other=20
again and again. Not least these connections between architecture and=20
cultural studies shall be revived in context of the conference. The=20
crucial questions we are concerned with can be summarized as follows:
1.) Which practical and symbolic kinds of action shape architectural and=20
urban spaces, and how do these spaces in turn form social and cultural=20
practices?
2.) To what extent can the scientific, theoretical discussion of space=20
intervene with the everyday practice of architecture and urban planning?=20
The contributions to the conference should refer to concrete objects and=20
some of the central aspects of architectural and urban spaces. All=20
contributions should be restricted to 30 minutes.
