Centre for Documentary Architecture

In collaboration with Vera Heinemann, Moritz Ebeling, Anna Luise Schubert, René Weiser, Robin Weißenborn and Ines Weizman

The Centre for Documentary Architecture is a research network investigating the historical and political aspects of architecture. Buildings and built environments are considered documents and archives in which time is inscribed, bearing witness to political relations and their transformations. The interdisciplinary researchers led by Prof. Dr. Ines Weizman have backgrounds in architecture, filmmaking, art, programming, history and theory.

The platform documentary-architecture.org does not only cover the CDA’s research projects but an also be used as an archive and tool itself. It is divided into a black archive section displaying all digital resources together with additional meta info and a white editorial section contextualising elements from the archive, making sense of the raw data.

It has been launched on the occasion of the exhibition “The Matter of Data. Tracing the Materiality of ‘Bauhaus Modernism’” that was on view at the White City Centre (Max Liebling House) in Tel Aviv, the Bauhaus Museum Weimar and the Architektur Galerie Berlin. Part of the exhibition was a 3D model of the Max Liebling House that can be explored via guided tours or on one’s own.
