Book launch - IMAGINARIES ON MATTER: TOOLS, MATERIALS, ORIGINS

On the 13th of December at 15.30 The Aarhus School of Architecture will host a book launch for the book “Imaginaries on Matter – Tools, Materials, Origins”.

The book “Imaginaries on Matter – Tools, Materials, Origins” promotes an innovative architectural research agenda that connects historical- cultural written research with digitally led material explorations. The common thread is the notion of the material imagination, disclosed in the reverie, or material daydream, which challenges overly pragmatic or unreflective material choices within current architectural practice. In bonding our imagination directly with matter while also confronting new technologies, this book promotes strategies by which architects’ and builders’ future relations with materials can stay rooted within the deeper concerns of cultural meaning.  The book is edited by Thomas Bo Jensen, Carolina Dayer and Jonathan Foote.
