How can we deal with changing environments? Which artistic perspectives are available, which alternative concepts of ecologies? Projects and concepts will be discussed to learn about narratives, genealogies, processes and power relations within ecologies. 

The result of this multi-dimensional debate will be a written work, and also an overview about different approaches of a current discussion of ecology in art / architecture. This shall lead to skills of grounded argumentation about the ecology in these fields and also empower students to productive and creative action in a changing environment.
