Im Trubel bleiben – einige Hyper‐/Hypolinks mit Kommentaren zur Zukunft der Wissenschaftsgeschichte

Abstract

Staying in Trouble – some Hyper‐/Hypolinks Commenting on the Future of the History of Science. This essay explores the possible future of the history of science, going through a number of motifs that I hold to be essential in this discussion. I argue that the history of science should continue to rely on narrative techniques that include multiple perspectives and humor. The questionable identity of historians of science, situated between the sciences, whose history we write, and our own methodological toolbox, will remain productive if we consciously deal with the challenges caused by “troubles” (as explained by Donna Haraway) of unclear identity, mixed methods, and perspective changes. All these constitute a chance to co‐write entangled histories and enact entangled politics of science.

Abstract English

This paper discusses the inclusion of nature in the utopian vision of the radical movements of the 60s and 70s. In particular, it presents the Austrian radicals as the first and main supporters towards the aforementioned tendency. The introduction of nature in the built environment is a feature of Austrian radicalism since its first generation which includes authors such as Raimund Abraham, Walter Pichler, Hans Hollein and Gunther Domenig. The latter is taken here presented as the main representative of this current on the architectonic scale. Three of his works are described in the text to represent three different declinations of this trend towards biomimicry.

Abstract English

In the contemporary context of the Anthropocene, the relationship between humans and nature should be redefined. Taking into consideration how capitalist industries, natural resources overexploitation, economic and social processes are shaping the landscape, “Into(x) the Wild” aims to draw a parallel between cleaning the interior and polluting the exterior.

A Future-Oriented Preservation

Abstract English

This exhibition features two projects that focus on the relevance and role of architectural preservation and adaptive re-use. The author looks at two case study projects in the USA – one a historic former prison on the east coast, and one a traditional Native American community in the south-west – and argues for a preservation focused on contemporary issues and social relevance rather than on a specific period of historical significance.

A Field Guide to Artificial Nature(s); Or, the Evolving Literary Ecology of the Temporary Autonomous Zone

Authors

Abstract English

‘The Literary Field Guide’ analyzes any .txt file and provides a breakdown of the text’s weather, climate, geographic features, flora, and fauna, in the style of a U.S. National Park Service brochure. As a teaching tool, the Guide creates a site and sense of engagement between the viewer and a complex literary ecology. As a provocation, it creates data visualizations of literary landscapes in hopes of calling attention to the artificial and constructed natures of all such visualizations.

Abstract English

Our work on the exhibition ‘Artificial Natures’ at the Architecture Biennale 2018 in Venice had its challenges. Our responsibility was the creation of the main 3d worlds, for projection onto the ‘Triptych’ and the ‘Arcades’.

The focus is on five points that all heavily influenced the project development and understanding of dynamics in interdisciplinary teams in a creative process.

Abstract English

The relationship of the human being with the images has become so close throughout the ages, to the point that the image is part of his reality, becoming habitable, the proof are the new concepts of augmented reality and virtual reality, But where can we find the pioneering experiences in simulation and recreation of nature through the creative attitude of the human being?

Perception of avant-garde architecture in 1920-1930

Fulltext

Abstract English

The text is dedicated to the problem of perception of avant-garde architecture in 1920-1930-s. The characteristic of the avant-garde utopian projects would be incomplete without considering the perception of modernism not only by the functionalists, but also by their opponents and by the general public – who supposed to be the main acceptors of all the radical changes. Another aspect to be observed in frames of this subject is the review of relationships between schools of traditionalism and functionalism schools during the period of 1920-1930-s.
