Schöner Wohnen – Architekturvisionen von 1900 bis heute
In the organizer's words:
The topic of housing is more topical than ever. How and where we live influences our well-being and shapes our behavior and identity. Artists and architects have always imagined their ideas of future architecture in drawings. However, architectural drawings from the past are not only a means of generating ideas or a medium for documenting the construction projects built. As "receptacles of inner and outer life" (Aby Warburg), they always also provide information about the architect's attitude and the spirit of the times. Based on this cultural studies approach, the Kunsthalle Tübingen takes a look at artistic architectural drawings as an art form of the last one hundred years. Drafts and selected models and sculptures from the 20th century to the present day are used to illustrate how social and technical change has influenced new living concepts and urban visions by artists and architects.
The tour leads through expressionist utopias of a future world architecture oriented towards nature, the functionalist and constructivist housing and urban concepts of the 1920s, the science fiction architecture of the 1960s and the experimental, culturally critical anti-utopias of the post-war period and postmodernism.
Today, the digital transformation is accompanied by new design techniques that produce surprising architectural visions. Traditional architectural drawings are now rarely used. Computer-generated illustration and AI design technology offer artists and architects new possibilities. Today, hybrid combinations of both handmade and digital drawings are also being created. Last but not least, the digital transformation generally challenges us today to reflect on our idea of what a humane urban life of the future looks like in an existential and contemporary way.
