A symposium will be held on March 21st / 22nd to mark Erich Mendelsohn's 135th birthday. In identifying the potential of the Oeuvre of Erich Mendelsohn (1887-1953) for a UNESCO World Heritage transnational serial nomination, we invite papers that offer new perspectives on his life, his architecture, and their influence, and on strategies for such a nomination. We are particularly interested in exploring Mendelsohn´s cosmopolitan approach to modernity. We seek reflections on his global impact, as well as on the theoretical positions and technical innovations in which it was rooted.
