architectural tuesday | Sommersemester 2023 | Marc Angélil

Inhalt des Vortrages:

„I plan to show five cases from practice done in our ateliers over the past 30 years and foreground the errors made – and what we learned from them – in our humble efforts to move toward a circular paradigm, while gradually trying to decarbonize construction. My focus will be on the mechanical systems and machine assemblies that invade our buildings – or what the Indian architect Charles Correa called “architectural pyrotechnics” – and show how to potentially combine energy-active and -passive solutions beyond greenwashing. Throughout my presentation I intend to refer to Correa’s proposition that form must follow climate to avert the negative effect of buildings on the environment within the so-called Anthropocene, Capitalocene, Urbicene, or Technocene. In so doing, I intend to address – in view of what French philosopher Bernard Stiegler called the Neganthropocene – the socio-technical-ecological role of architecture as an environment-making practice in our (not always successful) attempts to mitigate its impact on climate – a discourse at the core of our most recent book Flux Redux: 9 Sites of Experimentation in Stocks and Flows that will be released in the summer of 2023″.
