The Director’s seminar at the Warburg Institute provides the digital launch for the international exhibition Warburg Models, together with a presentation of Haworth Tompkins’ architects model for the Warburg Renaissance project.
Architecture, interiors and technological systems were crucial for how Aby Warburg and his followers interrogated culture. Through a series of architectural models, the presentation shows how buildings commissioned and occupied by the Warburg Institute, from the Kulturwissenschaftliche Bibliothek Warburg in Hamburg, to the Institute’s current home on Woburn Square, have projected a tie between architectural space, intellectual order and the examination of cultural survival.
