DESCRIPTION:Moritz Gleich and Sarine Waltenspül\nIn this presentation\, 
 media scholars Moritz Gleich and Sarine Waltenspül will present and discu
 ss their recently published books\, exploring the proximity that exists be
 tween architecture and media studies.\n\nMoritz Gleich will present Inhabi
 ted Machines (Birkhauser\, 2023). Around 1800\, one of the most influentia
 l architectural concepts of the last 250 years emerged – that of built s
 paces as machines. Dissected and scrutinized by later writers\, the notion
  of the architectural machine has enjoyed significant currency. But could 
 the modern interpretation of the historical term be too narrow? Taking the
  themes of domestic climate\, morality\, and comfort\, this in-depth and r
 ichly illustrated study examines the evidence afresh – with nuanced yet 
 surprising results.\n\nFor her part\, Sarine Waltenspül will present Mode
 lle im Film (Diaphanes\, 2024). Cinematographic models can be found in fil
 ms of almost every genre and era\, whether due to the unavailability of li
 fe-size objects\, budgetary constraints\, or simply fetishism. Despite th
 eir enduring presence in the history of cinema\, scale models have often r
 emained invisible - not only in the films themselves\, but also in film h
 istoriography. What might a history of cinema look like that focuses on sm
 all\, seemingly marginal\, and mostly invisible material objects instead o
 f great directors\, expensive films\, ingenious inventions\, and much-quo
 ted theories?\n\n
