Lesekreis Landschaft: On Site
7 PM
With Yuma Shinohara, Curator S AM
‘Site’ can take on a myriad of meanings in architecture. Depending on the use case, it can signify a plot of land, a place where construction is taking place, or – more diffusely – the place or the context where a project intervenes. In light of climate crisis and social upheaval, the disciplinary borders of architectural practice are changing, expanding. What does this mean for architecture’s relationship to place? How do we define the ‘site’ of architecture today?
The event is part of the ‘Lesekreis Landschaft’, an event series organized by the Lokal für Raumbegehung. Lesekreis Landschaft is a public forum for reading and discussion. Each meeting is moderated by a different person from academia, the professional field, or the cultural sector, who compiles text excerpts into a reader. The short text excerpts are read aloud at the event. No prior knowledge is required. The group is reconstituted for each meeting. More info: https://www.lokal-fuer-raumbegehung.ch
