DSD Lecture of Patrick Healy at Technion, Haifa, 2 november 2009
Architectural theory in the late work of Walter Benjamin
> More information

For the Technion in Haifa Patrick Healy has prepared a paper based on his ongoing research on architectural theory in the late work of Walter Benjamin. He will examine the theorising of architecture in Benjamin's study of the Baroque Lamentation-Play, and the significance of allegory and Trauer in his understanding of history and the object world: the relation ultimately of image to word. Healy will propose a new interpretation of how to understand the dialectical image in its upsurge as keyed to melancholy and ruins in Benjamin's work.
The reading will encompass for the Haifa conference the question of place and architecture in his account of Paris, Berlin, Moscow, Naples, Barcelona, and Marseilles in light of his commentary on contemporary architectural writing and theory in the publications of Giedion, Kaufmann, Le Corbusier. The significance for Benjamin of Max Raphael's Proudhon, Marx, Picasso, and Raphael's work on Marxist epistemology will be highlighted for Benjamin as his reading of Simmel on the Philosophy of Money, and Riegl on Dutch Portrait group painting, indicating their specific significance for his final surviving formulations and research direction.

Patrick Healy (b. Dublin, Ireland 1955- ) has been engaged as a philosopher and author for over 30 years in publication, international lecturing and research. He is currently a senior researcher at the Delft School of Design, Faculty of Architecture , Technical University, Delft, the Netherlands. There he also gives courses on aesthetics, in the philosophy of science, and seminars for the doctoral students. He currently offers a course in ten parts The Philosophy of Image.
He has also taught at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, in departments of sculpture and photography. He is Professor of interdisciplinary research at the Free International University Amsterdam, and has contributed and issued many publications on artists and participated in projects, such as Paleo Psycho Pop, Bison Caravan, the formation of the FIUWAC collection.

A New Building for Bouwkunde
Design brief for the new Faculty

Berlageweg 1 burned down on May 13th, 2008, triggering a lot of emotions. The Building for Bouwkunde initiative aims to harness our emotions and use them in a creative way. We call on proactive people to get involved in a positive effort. By bringing people and ideas together in creative workshops, we hope to create a Gallery of Visions that will give everyone's visions a place. Everyone is welcome!
