Constructing the Conscience. About German Post-War Architecture and its Media
Markus Krajewski (Université de Bâle)
This talk will be about Architecture and Media, more precisely, about a specific form of town houses’ exteriors and how these specific elements served as a medium of silence: tiles. My case study will discuss tiled facades as a certain dispositive of hiding and hygiene which was used in the 1950ies in predominantly Western German house building, as an architectural shape as well as a reflex to Germany’s recent past.
