"Call for Artists: Transnational Spaces"
2004-07-23 until 2004-10-01
Bauhaus Dessau Foundation
Dessau, ,
DE Germany
Starting October,18 2004 the Bauhaus Kolleg will focus on the development of transnational public realms in urban metropolitan areas. In times of economic globalization, multi-media based communication and transnational migration urbanity transcends national boundaries and global spaces that lack national characteristics materialize. Politics and society increasingly lose their grip on these spaces and we cannot understand them by resorting to existing planning and design strategies.
What are the consequences for cities and architecture if a location is becoming ambiguous? By looking at select transnational locations, such as call centers in Calcutta/India, hostels for refugees in Berlin, transnational markets in Istanbul, a drilling rig in the North Sea and Frankfurt’s airport the program investigates the new spatial orders that have emerged within these locations.
