URA Yves Malysse Kiki Verbeeck is invited to the Faculty of Architecture In Graz, Austria as speaker for the upcoming Graz Architecture Lectures 2024, from15 – 17 april 2024.
A common theme is developed with a call to students, lecturers and the entire professoriate to submit proposals in line with the theme: Celebrating Collectivity!
In all civilizations where there is the practice of sobriety or frugality , there is always a period of celebration from time to time, frugality must be compensated for with celebration, otherwise it is austerity and it becomes unbearable for humans. - Edgar Morin
An invitation to step out of our comfort zone and have the courage in architecture to face the challenges around us together. We want to give our spatial discipline back its social relevance by exchanging ideas with courageous designers, activists and thinkers in our disciplines. The topics will be serious: resources, uncertainty, ecology, social justice ... but the discussion will be festive!
The event is organized by the Faculty of Architecture with the support of the Institute of Architecture and Landscape and the Institute of Urbanism.
