Actes du colloque, 10-12 octobre 2019, Auxerre (France)}, abstract = {After a short overview on the institutional situation and current tendencies in German building archaeology, this paper will focus on the recent discussion about how Bauforschung can tackle Germany's modern built heritage. Buildings from the 20th century, which in their majority step away from craftsmanship towards a more industrialized building process, demand different research approaches than the building heritage from the 19th century and before. What has Bauforschung to offer in this field? Are we knowledge-wise and technically enough equipped for this task? Should we, on the contrary, leave the 20th century to other disciplines like architectural history? How can we gear up with yet again new tools and methods in order to add valuable insights in a built heritage that is about to vanish quicker than perhaps any other before? And, finally, which didactic challenges are we facing when teaching the Bauforschung of 20th-century-buildings? These questions will be discussed on the basis of selected projects on local industrial and public buildings from the 1910s to the 1980s.}, language = {en} }
