We are pleased to announce the launch of the fifth issue of SAC Journal, Zero Piranesi. Peter Trummer will be in conversation with Johan Bettum. The event is a part of Rundgang programme and will take place on February 16 at 14:00 in Städelschule Aula.
This fifth issue of SAC JOURNAL, Zero Piranesi, is guest-edited by Peter Trummer. It celebrates Piranesi’s vision of ancient Rome and the disciplinary search of the endless realities within his Campo Marzio plan of Rome. For Trummer, Zero Piranesi suggests an architectural methodology based on a theory of replacement. With it, Piranesi’s plan of Rome is transformed into an “Object Plan” - a plan where multiple authors’ various positions are absorbed. Thus, the “Object Plan” contains a kaleidoscope of ideas which form a crust of architectural speculations accumulated within.
Zero Piranesi presents the seminal projects of Peter Eisenman and Jeffrey Kipnis at the Venice Biennale in 2012 as well as new texts by, amongst others, Michael Young and Marrikka Trotter. Trummer’s own version of Campo Marzio comprises of drawings and a text that together construct Zero Piranesi.
Finally, the journal features the award winning projects of Städelschule Architecture Class’ AIV Master Thesis Prize 2017 and 2018.

SAC hosts the theorist Donald Kunze for a salon-style seminar that focuses on the Kunze’s notions of the “virtual" and the “Fourth Wall” or “framing” - the latter conventionally understood as a quintessential function of architecture.
Kunze holds an MA and PhD from Penn State University where he has also taught in the Department of Integrative Arts and the Department of Architecture till he retired. His dissertation was on the philosophy of imagination of Giambattista Vico.

SAC’s Architecture and Aesthetic Practice was invited to exhibit VR projects at Goethe Institut in München. The exhibition was a part of the event Perpetual Beta Brot und Spiele Postdigital.
At the Goethe Institut, Spatial Fabulations and Other Tales of Representation in Virtual Reality comprised of five projects that explore various architectural themes spanning from urban narratives to active participation in architectural design in Virtual Reality. The projects engage with personal and poetic narratives from foreign cities, the work of select architects - such as Bernard Tschumi and Oswald Mathias Ungers, to machine-driven processes as part of architectural design. In the projects, the visitors are invited on journeys that explore insides and outsides of buildings and cities, or to interactively explore and produce forms that are made possible by computers and their algorithms. Subjective experience and creative participation are fused with machinic processes that underlie the contemporary production of architectural forms and our spatial experience.

SAC proudly hosts a double book presentation on May 24 at 18:00 in I9 in Städelschule’s main building. The presentations are made by, respectively, Beatriz Colomina and Jesse Reiser and Nanako Umemoto of RUR Architecture.
Beatriz Colomina presents her new book, X-Ray Architecture (Lars Müller Publishers). Colomina is Professor of the History of Architecture at Princeton School of Architecture and the founding director of its Media and Modernity Program. She is currently also Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin Fellow and teaches history and theory at the Städelschule Architecture Class. X-Ray Architecture explores the enormous impact of medical discourse and imaging technologies on the formation, representation and reception of twentieth-century architecture.
Jesse Reiser and Nanako Umemoto of RUR Architecture, New York, present their monograph, Projects and Their Consequences (Princeton Architectural Press). Reiser is Professor of Architecture at Princeton School of Architecture and Umemoto is visiting professor at University of Pennsylvania and Columbia University. Their book presents fifteen key projects and traces thirty years of innovative, multidisciplinary investigations of form, structure, technique, and planning. Projects and Their Consequences attests to Reiser and Umemoto being among the leading contemporary architectural thinkers, and their book is a necessary volume for everyone interested in the intersection of architecture, art, and culture.
The presentations will be followed by a book signing and copies will be available for purchase.

A group of SAC’s alumni and students of the arts department are inviting to Katakombe, inspired by Die Gesellschaft in den Katakomben which, according to Günter Bock, was a group of enthusiastic illustrated people who got together to have 'their literary or other works discussed and assessed by knowledgeable acquaintances in a convivial atmosphere.' Founded in 1849 in Frankfurt by artists, scholars and friends, the group was co-lead by Friedrich Maximilian Hessemer, teacher at the Städelschule.
Inspired by the mood of a Salon, the group of SAC's alumni reinforce this tradition at Städelschule and organised the event to amuse the senses through the presentation of drawings, the exchange of ideas, the offer of food and drinks and ideally critically access and discuss new work and ideas among scholars, professionals, students and friends. As Horace would define Poetry, 'either to please or to educate', the evening intends to do both.
