The Bauhaus-Colloquium is an international conference held in Weimar in 
regular intervals since 1976. As an interdisciplinary forum, the colloquium 
sets out to discuss major issues relevant to the contemporary architectural 
debate. The aim of the conference Medium Architecture in 2003 is to 
ask if and how architecture functions under the present cultural,
technological 
and economic conditions as a medium and as a language. In this 
context, we are interested in architecture as a medium, in architecture in 
the media and in the modern technologies and new media as they bear on 
architectural production. The conference will be held over four days. The 
afternoon sessions will showcase invited academics of international 
standing. In the morning sessions younger scholars around PhD level will 
deliver papers on related topics.
