Ideal Spaces News Update

Journal

The 4th issue of our Ideal Spaces journal Urban Eidos is out. Please have a look at https://urban-eidos.com/. In this issue, we addressed the topics of Self-understanding today, its history of ideas in the West, and the related loss of consciousness today. We also addressed relations between Self, architecture as built space, and the social contexts applying to them.

Our next issue will be about Artificial Natures.

Our Ideal Spaces members Andreas Siess and Ulrich Gehmann published on the Loss of Free Citizenship, based on a contribution held in the conference Urban Futures-Cultural Pasts, held in Barcelona 2024.

Histories of Ideas

We continued with presenting perspectives which, in our eyes, are relevant for understanding important relations between architectures and ideal spaces, as well as recent developments in society.
