• What role does/can/should digital concept design play in the production of culture in the 21st Century?
• I examine this with reference to the development of the Humboldt Forum in Berlin from 2015 to 2020
• A case study of the digital concept design for Europe’s largest cultural heritage undertaking in a generation – set in its wider context of projects and actors and the processes of digitalization radically transforming culture and its transmission today

The Seminars “CultureMediaConcept” and “Digital Concept and Cultural Production” at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Institut für Kulturwissenschaft – invited students to engage in a field of critical inquiry around core concepts and current examples
