What does methodologically nuanced, pluralistic research in architectural history look like? How does it work in practice? Can only contemporary theories such as gender, q***r, and de- and postcolonial studies grasp their approaches? What does the epistemology of modernity nevertheless achieve? Or is the concept of academic research changing – and with it the entire epistemic system upon which architectural history also rests? Do AI models help or hinder this reorientation? And how can these considerations be incorporated into teaching in concrete terms?
These and other questions are to be raised – and perhaps also answered – in the Lecture Series for the 2026/2027 academic year at the Institute of Art and Architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Architectural historians from various backgrounds who are engaged with these questions will be invited to present and discuss their research approaches from this perspective.
