    Staying With The Trouble

    by Kristoffer Lindhardt Weiss and Boris Brorman Jensen

    The moderators of the architecture festival Kristoffer Lindhardt Weiss and Boris Brorman Jensen introduce the theme Staying With The Trouble. Economist Kate Raworth will join on video.

    According to Kate Raworth, addressing the global challenges of both poverty and overconsumption is the key to thinking like a 21st-century economist. Her profound message to stop chasing eternal growth has been heard worldwide. Here, Kate Raworth will offer her guidance on how we as architects can turn her radical ideas for a new economy into architectural action.

    Elke Krasny

    Caring for a Broken Planet

    Based on the book and the exhibition ‘Critical Care. Architecture and Urbanism for a Broken Planet’ (2019), together with Angelika Fitz, Elke Krasny unfolds how architecture and urbanism can contribute to bringing the planet back to life. Rejecting the mantra of an ever-expanding economy based on exploitation of limited resources Krasny challenges the fundamentals of architectural practices.

    Elke Krasny (AT) is an architecture theorist, curator, author and professor (PhD) of Art and Education at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. She has received the Outstanding Artist Award for Women’s Culture.

  • 10.00-11.00

     

    Andrés Jaque and Niklas Maak

    Constituting the Critique: Architecture in between Pop Culture, Experiments and Idiosyncrasies

    How can architecture respond to the many current global challenges as a critical practice? Is there a way to confront ‘business as usual’ from within the system? Architect, writer and curator Andrés Jaque joins architectural professor and critic Niklas Maak in an elaborate exchange of thoughts and suggestions on how to revitalize architecture as a practice of critical projection.

    Andrés Jaque (ES) is an architect, author, curator, and founder of the Office for Political Innovation. He has received the Frederick Kiesler Prize for Architecture and the Arts as well as the Silver Lion in Venice (2014) and the Dionisio Hernández-Gil Prize.

    Niklas Maak (DE) is an architect, architecture theorist, professor (PhD), author and arts editor of Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. He has received the George F. Kennan Prize, the Henri Nannen Prize, and the COR Prize for Architectural Critique. 

  • 11.00-12.00

     

    Eyal Weizman

    Space as Evidence: Surveillance and Research in the Anthropocene

    Using architecture and other spatial fabrications as forensic tools and evidence to unveil injustice and crimes, the British architect Eyal Weizman has broken new ground for architectural practice and research. In his keynote, Weizman will share examples of his latest works and tell about the reactions that his far-reaching critical practice is causing.

    Eyal Weizman (UK) is an architect, professor (PhD), author and founding director of Forensic Architecture. Among many recognitions, Weizman is one of the ‘100 Global Minds: The Most Daring Cross-Disciplinary Thinkers in the World’ and a Member of the Order of the British Empire.

    Lunch

  • 13.00-14.00

     

    Anupama Kundoo

    Architecture vs. Acceleration

    Meet Anupama Kundoo in a slow conversation on time. Kundoo deliberately works slowly, optimizing her design through profound research based on materials that minimize environmental effects. Focusing on traditional craft traditions and construction techniques, she insists on an architecture based on strong social and human ideals and managed by giving time a voice.

    Anupama Kundoo (IN) is an architect and professor (PhD). Anupama Kundoo has received multiple Architect of the Year awards and created prominent works of architecture, such as Auroville in India, featured in exhibitions at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark and the Venice Architecture Biennale.

    Jenny Osuldsen

    The One Who Holds the Pen Has the Power

    Listen to Jenny Osuldsen as she presents a series of contextual examinations, rather than isolated masterpieces, and discusses why Snøhetta’s architecture is associative rather than symbolic, comments rather than statements, attitudes rather than designs. Every story told is a shared experience of contemporary conditions set within a given frame, where the one who holds the pen has the power.

    Jenny Osuldsen (NO) is an architect, professor (Honorary Doctor) and partner in Snøhetta. The studio’s projects include iconic architecture on Times Square in New York, The Library in Alexandria, Egypt, and the King Abdulaziz Centre for World Culture in Saudi Arabia, all led by Osuldsen.
