Sandra Meireis (ABK Stuttgart), Frederike Lausch (TU Darmstadt), Klaus Platzgummer (TU Berlin) and Eva Maria Froschauer (BHT Berlin)

8. FORUM ARCHITEKTURWISSENSCHAFT

Date and location:
March 9–11, 2022

Online via zoom

Access to sources, knowledge, and information is going through fundamental changes as globalisation and digitalisation evolve. The same changes apply to the process of gaining new academic insights. As the amount of sources increases (as well as their diversity and general distribution), there are still fundamental differences in accessibility, depending on one’s geographic and economic position. What role do economic and social factors play in a researcher’s possibility to visit an archive, or simply to make due with a curated and digitalised selection of sources?
