How do architects process their data? From increasingly complex modelling with BIM or AI to everyday office routines, data poses new challenges for design and research. This seminar explores how architects keep, archive, and manage their data, and how knowledge flows into architectural practice. 

Using ethnographic methods, we will conduct interviews, document offices through photographic essays, and produce a booklet accompanied by a public presentation at the Architekturmuseum der TUM. 

Some seminar sessions and the final presentations will take place at the Architekturmuseum der TUM, as part of the public programming of the current exhibition 'City in the Cloud - Data on the Ground'. Join us for the exhibition opening on 15. October 2025 at 19h. It is public and free of charge.

If you want to join, please sign up via TUM online and join us for the kick-off meeting on Monday, 13.10.2025 at 13:15 in Seminarraum 0340B. The seminar will be held both in English and German.
