Blind Date 1: Who did this?

 

Architects from Basel, Chur, Lausanne, Madrid and Zurich will be the guests of the first blind date. They will get to know the other participants the very same evening.
7pm Beginning (doors open/bar service at 6.30pm)
moderation: Andreas Ruby and Dr. Sabine von Fischer (ZHAW)

We try to extract ourselves from the meta-modern ‚just do it’ for four evenings in order to ask some simple but essential questions striving for actualisation.
During the course of the exhibition ‚Schweizweit’ S AM will function as a platform for discussion and launches an experimental event format: four panel discussions as blind dates starring nine architecture firms from different regions of Switzerland.
Architects from Basel, Chur, Lausanne, Madrid and Zurich will be the guests of the first blind date. They will get to know the other participants the very same evening.
Each office will start with a quick presentation of their contribution to our exhibition ‚Schweizweit’ and will later introduce us to their most urgent topic which we are looking forward to discussing with you!

7.00pm-8.00pm short presentations
8.00pm-8.15pm break & bar service
