EAHN Biennial Conference

Description

Organisation and Chairing of Roundtable for the EAHN conference at Aarhus University, with contributions by Ania Molenda (Nieuwe Instituut), Anna-Maria Meister (KIT), Ana Miljacki (MIT), Lucas de Mello Reitz (IAB Brazil), and Joshua Silver (KIT).

This roundtable asked scholars to interrogate the “Transmedia Architecture Archive” as a field of negotiation where historical meaning emerges through shifting relations between simulation and erasure, institutional stewardship, and precarious forms of memory work. We will explore how moving from metadata-based systems to AI-driven epistemologies introduces intimacy and urgency, while navigating the pressures of digital persistence and loss. The roundtable aims to push the boundaries of architectural historiography, to seek to understand how transmedia archives
redefine the roles of historians, architects, and the public, inviting both speculative
and grounded contributions that examine the future of architectural
knowledge at the intersection of traditional scholarship and emerging, often
volatile, technologies.
