Contemporary Art and Architecture; Architecture in Interdisciplinary Relations

Interdisciplinary thinking is not merely a concept to validate mental wandering between disciplines. It doesn’t emphasize the importance of watching movies, flipping through books, or attending seminars and multi-party discussions (in this context). Additionally, interdisciplinary thinking is not (merely) an effort to find hidden relationships between disciplines. We accept that there is no medium or discipline without a middle ground, meaning no discipline or work can be defended for its originality, even though it can be defined or discussed in terms of its boundaries.

The intellectual realm of interdisciplinary thinking is based on the following question: What happens between disciplines? In our topic, “between contemporary art and architecture,” what transpires? Because interdisciplinary thinking is fundamentally pragmatic and ultimately interventional, it necessitates a deeper exploration. Based on this necessity, this lecture examines the aspects of architecture in relation to other artistic disciplines that are somehow adjacent to architecture. To be more precise, architecture borrows from them, and sometimes those disciplines are indebted to architecture.
