Architecture as permanent change?

Permanent change is the only constant in life, claimed already Heraclitus, and today’s reality seems to confirm his vision of a world in flux. Architects therefore try to distinguish between what appears lasting in their discipline and what is transient and fleeting. But can we speak of metamorphosis as the “essence” of architecture? Can the never-ending cycles of transformation ensure the regeneration of architecture after cycles of crisis?

Labour of the Artist, Feminist Practices and Troubles with the Infrastructure

In the lecture, I would like to address the issue of the labour of the artist from the perspective of the feminist artistic work and discuss, how already from the end of the 1970s feminists artists engaged with the issues of the flexible and precarious work, the issues that are also so pertinent in the labour of the artist today. From the perspective of those artists, the exploration of labour opened new dimension how to understand and reflect upon labour of female artist and her emancipated life.

XDGA - Make space for life

Ideally architecture is not about fixing activities, fluxes or programs, or worse, about solving spatial problems. On the contrary, it is about opening up possibilities: the potential of a site, the hidden opportunity of a particular situation in time, of a programmatic conflict. It is about dealing with uncertainty, about enabling different and unforeseen scenarios. In that sense, architecture and urbanism are not opposed disciplines with different outcomes, but similar mediators, on different scales and in different degrees of complexity, with the same goal of enabling life.
