Xaveer De Geyter
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.
Dubravka Sekulić
In the lecture Dubravka Sekulić focuses not only on what and why needs to change in architectural education in an effort to make a discipline more equitable, but also on how this change can happen.
