Workshop - Liam Young

Liam Young: Reimaging the Present: Scenes from a film that doesn’t exist 

Starting with an introductory discussion of iconic scenes of the history of sci-fi and ongoing studio work, the workshop will play on the classic science fiction world-building trope of 'just change one thing', to visualize imaginary worlds, exaggerated presents or strange and speculative futures that are both familiar but at the same time slightly askew.

Open Lecture - Peter Trummer

Peter Trummer: zero urbanism
The lecture unfolds around the argument that within the contemporary city, an new kind of architectural object emerged. This architectural entities looks like buildings, but their purpose is not to host people but to store money. What such an post-human urbanism means for the discipline of architecture and their formal discourse will be demonstrated through several projects and my recent work.
