NO FUTURE- BUILDING THE PRESENT
On Thursday, 16 June 2016 at 8 pm Mathias Echanove, Rahul Srivastava and Ismini Christakopoulou from urbz will deliver the sixth in a series of six lectures in Oris House of Architecture as part of the Future Architecture Platform, titled No Future - Building the Present.
Nostalgia and speculation often accompany our gaze into the past and the future, mainly because these temporal dimensions don’t look back at us. To look at the present however is a different matter. It confronts us here and now and makes us take choices that have real consequences. For this reason perhaps the present, and building with the present is not something we see very often as a moment of reflection in discussions on architecture. In fact, in architecture, the future is both messianic - buildings are infused with the promise of change, - and full of fantasies.
urbz is an experimental urban research and action collective. It organizes collaborative workshops, facilitates hands-on research projects, creates urban forms and concepts, and develops web content about urban space and places since 2008.
Admission is free. The lecture will be delivered in English. |
