Modern architecture and the built environment have been organized by networks of colonial power. The lecture series “Organizing Architectures: Coloniality” examines modernist architecture and urban planning in light of Coloniality. It is organized by the interdisciplinary DFG-funded research training group “Organizing Architectures”, that addresses the tension between architectural production and social processes in their work.
