building Environments
I will give a talk on “Pedagogy in Action” at the building Environments symposium at the Angewandte, Vienna. Thanks to Tülay Atak for the invitation and for organizing these conversations! Here’s a summary of the event:
The “building Environments” symposium will address the current state of architectural theory in the context of numerous ecological crises. If theory is what establishes the relationship between what is present and what can be imagined, allowing us to look forward and backward, then it is the task of architectural theory to consider what remains constant and what changes in the discipline as it addresses current challenges. “building Environments” asks the participants to think about how environmental issues impact, affect, and shift theoretical work on architecture, landscape and design.
The symposium will be organized around three conversation topics: “Design of Environments,” “Pedagogy in Action,” and “Exhibition as Media,” based on the work of the participants, Maria Auböck, Ingrid Halland, Elisa Iturbe, Ana María León, Catherine Mosbach, Tatjana Schneider, and Michael Wang.
