Inaugural Lecture by Prof. Hannah Jonas
On the occasion of her appointment as Professor of Design Typology at the Department of CITY | BUILDING | CULTURE, Professor Hannah Jonas will give her inaugural lecture entitled "Typology – Thinking Space of Design".
Typology functions as an instrument of cognition for designing architects – explaining, enabling, expecting. Typology explains to us the relationships between architectures, through which we gain access to the cultural memory of architecture. It enables us to learn from these relationships and to design contemporary architecture on the basis of this knowledge. And it expects us to update our knowledge by applying it, thereby keeping it alive. Typology thinks past and present at the same time.
