the three cities are the cultural centres of andalusia, their history - over a period of eight hundred years - documents the qualities of intercultural coexistance. the time between early 800 and the year 1492 were amongst the most prosperous, both in economical as well as cultural terms of the iberian penninsula. the moorish culture is architecturally still evident, its traces are still visible in today´s daily life.
coexistance of different cultures, religions, societies demands inclusiveness – an inviting atmosphere.
we will walk along the path of hospitality – visit places of invitation and open(minded)ness and learn that the built environment is an expression of cultural attitudes and bsocietal behaviour. our field of interest is what has survived, continues to influence and how our time reacts on a past that is still present through its built structures.
we will be accompanied by the question: „for the society to come, what could be possible architectural offers and answers?“
we will share some time and visits with the studio of dieter jüngling. our paths cross throughout the excursion week.
