Columbia University Global Networking Summer Workshop lectures

In the lectures that will take place at July 14, within the workshop GSAPP in Thessaloniki,  will participate: The R&sIE (n) | François Roche & Stéphanie Lavaux group.

This group works simultaneously through the architectural practice R&Sie(n) and the "new-territories" research organization. It also leads architectural research labs such as the Advanced Studio at Columbia University-GSAPP in New York. Their works are organized on three sets of themes:

/Practice as LifeSpan / Fiction as Practice / Research as Speculation /

-A fragile architecture which negotiates with the arrow of time, with the transitory one or what seems the being
-An operative and fictional architecture which tries to re-scenarize the relation with a situation, with an environment (like principle of reality)
-A speculative architecture which works out devices between robotics, mathematics, neurobiology and biochemistry (last research "Ive heard about" & "an architecture des humeurs")

At the same day, will follow the lecture by Eva Franch titled Εcologies of Excess and by Michael Young titled Technical Infidelity.  Eva Franch Eva Franch i Gilabert is a Catalan architect, researcher, and teacher, founder of the Barcelona based OOAA (office of architectural affairs) and Director of Storefront for Art and Architecture in New York.
