Our new publication fragmental_

Cover der Publikation fragmental_

Our international symposium ‘fragmental_ on the dissolucion of public space’ from the Dortmunder Positionen series, initiated by Prof. Heike Hanada, took place at the German Academy Villa Massimo in Rome on 24 February + 25 February 2022. It examined the ambivalent identity of a monumental and at the same time romantic understanding of space between the built and its dissolution, between architecture and the reconquest of space by nature. We are delighted to present the texts and illustrations of all the speakers to the public in this publication.

Published in 2024 by Verlag Walther König under the order number 1666879 , ISBN 978-3-7533-0785-5 in English.
