Participation is free of charge and possible without registration.

The first lecture in the series is entitled "Making Heritage. An Architectural Practice" and will take place on Tuesday, 19 November 2024, 7 p.m., in Lecture Theatre A, Central Lecture Theatre Building (ZHG), Cottbus main campus.

Architecture professor Jens Casper from Erfurt University of Applied Sciences will introduce the concept of "heritage making" and describe the processes and practices that turn old buildings into identity-forming cultural heritage. This includes maintaining and repairing, adapting and continuing to build, but also listening and looking closely in order to learn from the people and the building itself what is valuable and worth preserving - as a basis for dealing with it in a way that is appropriate to its existence and society. The lecture and discussion are organised and supported by the Chair of Architectural Conservation at BTU.

The IBK lecture series consists of a total of eight events, each initiated by one of the chairs involved in the institute. Under the title "What are we building on?", national and international guests will speak and discuss topics in the context of current research. Lectures such as "Heritage-Making as Architectural Practice", "Archaeology of Architecture", "Model of Modernity" or "Reconstruction of Notre Dame Cathedral" in Paris are exciting for a broad specialist audience, but also interesting for a public interested in the History of Architecture, Art and Monument Protection.

The Institute of History of Art and Architecture (IBK) is an interdisciplinary teaching and research network at the Faculty of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Urban Planning at BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg. The institution, which is unique in the German university landscape, brings together eight key areas under one roof: Architecture and Visualisation, Architectural Theory, History of Architecture, ArchitecturalConservation, Heritage Management, Cultural Management and History of Art are all represented at the IBK.
