6th International Meeting “The Architect’s Journeys”
Architects and Engineers: Journeys in the Polytechnic Culture
Networks, Media, and New Destinations Since 1794
On the occasion of the bicentenary of the Karlsruhe Polytechnic School (now the Karlsruher Institut für Technologie) the conference invites participants to explore the evolution of the polytechnic travel culture through international case studies, focusing on the role of travel as a dynamic cultural practice. Since 1794, architect’s and engineer’s journeys have helped to shape polytechnic culture in the midst of tensions between revolution and tradition, nationality and cosmopolitanism, technology and art, as well as general education and vocational training.

All histories of architecture are products of an intellectual construct. As such, they are circumstantial discourses, developed from particular provisional points of view, chosen from a range of possibilities. From Giorgio Vasari’s The Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects to Manfredo Tafuri’s historiographic project, every generation has read on the past from the angle of the problems specific to its period.
