Living Landscapes in Madrid

APPLY UNTIL 29 JUNE 2025

Students from the Goethe University Frankfurt are welcome to apply for an excursion and workshop that propose a critical look at the ideas of dwelling and landscape in heritage areas of Madrid. This project considers a transversal approach between art and urban history, agency, socio-politics and public debate. Students will be part of a series of activities; including group discussions, city walks and visits to architectural and cultural institutions.

Developed in the scope of a Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Program (BIP), it involves the Architectural Schools of Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, the Instituto Universitário de Lisboa and the Politecnico de Milano, as well as the Art History Department of the Goethe University Frankfurt.

The team of lecturers from the Art History Department are Carsten Ruhl, Daniela Ortiz dos Santos and Stefanie Heraeus.

Up to 12 students from the Goethe University shall be selected to join this BIP workshop project and will receive ECTS and a per diem paid by the GU (70EUR for at least five days).

Applications are welcome to be sent via e-mail to Daniela Ortiz dos Santos <ortiz@kunst.uni-frankfurt.de> until Friday 29 June 2025 (motivation letter and CV).

Selected applicants will be notified per e-mail and are expected to attend the introductory session on 4 July 2025 at 16h00 (room to be announced). This project is linked to a Seminar in the Winter Semester to be offered on Wednesdays 16h-18h. Accepted students to participate in the BIP workshop are expected to attend the Seminar.
