A series of public lectures are part of the international workshop week at the department for design methodology and representation Chair Prof. Mark Mückenheim, Technical University Munich, school of architecture. The workshop is run by Tobias Klein, Dietmar Koering, Denis Vlieghe, and Peter Dell’Uva and will take place from December 13th to 17th. Students from the TU Munich and the AA will work on analyzing and transforming a series of existing churches into digital as well as physical models that explore the boundaries of representation. The course aims to stimulate a debate around ornaments, ecclesial patterns, sublime tectonics within the complexity of classic church architecture and their translation and manufacturing into contemporary exuberance.
