Please join us at Chalmers School of Architecture this Wednesday afternoon for a public lecture with Marcos Zotes of Basalt Architects.

Natural by Design
In this lecture titled “Natural by Design”, Zotes will discuss Basalt Architect´s recent body of work exploring the notion of bathing culture in Iceland through architectural interventions in the Icelandic volcanic landscape. The team has revamped the long-standing natural bathing tradition in Iceland, focusing on putting people in close contact with nature. One of the goals of the team is to maximise guest experience by creating a positive dialogue between the natural and built environment. Extreme weather and arctic daylight conditions, a unique natural environment, scarcity of resources, fragile communities and increased tourism are aspects of Iceland that are seen as opportunities rather than constraints in Basalt’s design process.

Marcos Zotes is an architect, co-director of Basalt Architects together with partners Sigríður Sigþórsdóttir (Founder) and Hrólfur Karl Cela and founder of design-research laboratory UNSTABLE. Basalt Architect‘s recent built work includes The Retreat at Blue Lagoon and Geosea Geothermal Sea Baths, for which they received the Iceland Design Award 2018 for their contribution to the development of bathing culture in Iceland.

Zotes holds a Master of Science in Advanced Architectural Design form Columbia University in New York and a Professional Diploma in Architecture from London Metropolitan University. He has previously worked at OMA / Office for Metropolitan Architecture in Rotterdam and taught at Iceland Academy of the Arts in Reykjavik. His work has been exhibited at the 13th Venice Architecture Biennale, The Polytechnic Museum of Moscow and Storefront for Art and Architecture in New York among others.

Wednesday, May 15 at 16.00 in Kunskapstrappan, Chalmers University of Technology, Department of Architecture and Engineering, Sven Hultins gata 6, 412 96 Gothenburg. Free and open to the public.

Please join us at Chalmers School of Architecture this Wednesday afternoon for a public lecture with Cristina Díaz Moreno and Efrén García Grinda of amid.cero9.

Eyes Rooms Gardens
Amid is an English preposition which designates the space in between things, objects, people or natural species and is also used to express something that happens at one temporal point in the course of a process, something that is not already fixed or closed, but in the same process of being defined. Eyes Rooms Gardens, a talk by amid.cero9, will be based on a choral recount, with many voices from different authors, places, scientific disciplines and moments of history but also a partial one, which gathers some of the main topics of concern and study that gave rise to the project of the headquarters of Institution for Free Education in Madrid, anchored both in our own personal concerns and in the intellectual connections of the Institution, with the aim of projecting the intellectual legacy of Giner de los Ríos towards the future.

Cristina Díaz Moreno and Efrén García Grinda are co-directors and co-founders of amid.cero9, an experimental architectural practice based in Madrid. They are currently Diploma Unit Masters at the A.A. School in London since 2009 (on leave during the 2018-2019 academic year), Visiting Professors at the IKA, Akademie der Bildenden Künste, Vienna, and Visiting Critics at SOA, Princeton Universtity since 2017. Recently they have been Design Critics in Architecture and co-directors of an Option Studio at the GSD (2015-2017), Harvard University, and Visiting Professors and Unit co-directors in the SAC StädSchule Architectural Class (2016-2017), Frankfürt StädSchule. Their books include “Third Natures, a Micropedia”, A.A, London, 2014; “Breathable”, UEM, ESAYA, 2009 and recently a monographic issue in El Croquis nº184.

Wednesday, May 8 at 16.00 in Kunskapstrappan, Chalmers University of Technology, Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Sven Hultins gata 6, Gothenburg. Free and open to the public.

Please join us at Chalmers School of Architecture this Wednesday afternoon for a public lecture with Farshid Moussavi.

In this lecture titled Architecture and Micropolitics, Farshid Moussavi will argue that architecturally speaking, politics is about people’s attachment to buildings - how buildings alter what people see, hear and do in and around them. This is not a question that is settled in advance through representation, but has to be evaluated in its irreducible singularity each time.

Farshid Moussavi OBE RA is an architect, principal of Farshid Moussavi Architecture (FMA) and Professor in Practice of Architecture at Harvard University Graduate School of Design. She was previously co-founder of the London-based Foreign Office Architects (FOA), recognised as one of the world's most creative design firms, integrating architecture, urban design, and landscape architecture in a wide range of projects internationally. Educated at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, University College London and Dundee University, Moussavi has taught and served as External Examiner in academic institutions worldwide. She was a trustee of the London Architecture Foundation, and, the Whitechapel Gallery between 2009 and 2018 and is currently a trustee of the Norman Foster Foundation, and, New Architecture Writers (NAW) in London. She has published The Function of Ornament in 2006, The Function of Form in 2009, and her third book titled The Function of Style in 2015, based on her research and teaching at Harvard.

Please join us at Chalmers School of Architecture this Wednesday afternoon for a public lecture with Kieran Long.

Curating Public Life
The public realm is changing constantly, and the objects and territories that define our experiences in public are of infinite number and complexity. In the last few years, Kieran Long’s work in museums and exhibitions (and now as director of ArkDes, Sweden’s national museum of architecture and design) has been focussed on assembling the material evidence of how citizens’ lives are changing. From street furniture to new technologies, from architecture to citizen campaigns, from video games to works of art, this lecture will examine a number of objects and exhibitions that have tried to make visible the dynamics at work in the contemporary public realm.

Kieran Long is the director of ArkDes, The Swedish Centre for Architecture and Design. Kieran Long has 20 years of experience within the realm of architecture and design, first as a writer, critic and teacher and more recently as a curator. In 2012 he worked with David Chipperfield to curate the Venice Biennale of Architecture, and in 2013 became the Keeper of the department of Design, Architecture and Digital at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. He has been a tutor at the Royal College of Art, a writer in journals across the world and has been a television presenter for the BBC since 2009. He took up his new position at ArkDes in Stockholm on 18 April 2017.

Wednesday, November 28, Kunskapstrappan, Chalmers Architecture and Civil Engineering, Sven Hultins gata 6. Free and open to the public.
