Architects and Engineers: Journeys in the Polytechnic Culture

6.–7. November 2025

6^th 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.
