Event overview
A guest lecture by Martina Löw, Professor for Sociology of Architecture and Planning, Technische Universität Berlin
When we today—in all disciplines—turn our attention anew to the theory of space, the events around 1970 prove to be a more decisive turning point than we realized at the time of the “spatial turn” in the nineties and the first decade of the new millennium. We suspected that we have to change our understanding of space in order to continue to understand the world, to retain our relatedness to space, to construct spaces that are experienced as desirable. Inasmuch as we have begun to think more in terms of relationality, and to develop relational concepts of space, we have gained a new perspective on the social and material world. What is now becoming clear is that the insight in the necessity of a relational understanding of space is only the beginning of theorizing, not the result.
