09.06.2011, 16:00, Philippe Rahm @ HIT E 51 www.philipperahm.com Constructed Atmospheres Might not climate be a new architectural language, a language for architecture rethought with meteorology in mind? Might it be possible to imagine climatic phenomena such as convection, conduction or evaporation for example as new tools for architectural composition? Could vapour, heat or light... Read More

31.05.2011, 16:00, Heinrich L眉ber @ HPZ F www.lueber.net The World is a Museum This stunningly photographed film captures the various works of Swiss artist Heinrich L眉ber, for whom the world is a museum. Rather than set up his work鈥攚hich usually involves his own body contorted into an unbelievable stance鈥攊n a gallery, he plays with the perception of public space, with onlookers... Read More

16.05.2011 / UWE R. BR脺CKNER
16.05.2011, 16:00, Uwe R. Br眉ckner @ HIT E 51 www.atelier-brueckner.de Scenography or the Art of Choreographed Spaces. The most important aspect of scenographical design lies in the translation of content into spatial images that can be walked through, and more generally even, in the generation of staged spaces with narrative qualities. In the best of all possible cases, the space... Read More
20.04.2011 / STEPHEN GAGE
20.04.2011, 13:00, Stephen Gage @ HIT E 51 Bartlett UCL, London A-Functional Architecture. I argue that the experience of architecture, the delight and wonder of finding oneself in beautiful places and spaces resides both in highly designed interactive spaces and events and in spaces from which close functionality has departed or in which close functionality was always transient....

08.04.2011 / MICHAEL STEINBUSCH
08.04.2011, 16:30, Michael Steinbusch @ HPZ F Professur Industriebau, TU DRESDEN Choreographing Architecture. Classical Ballet is oriented towards the stage center. Modern developments like Forsythe鈥檚 Ballet are multifocal, and they raise the question how different foci can be connected, having in mind that they in turn comprise of connections. This 鈥済lobal/local鈥 problem... Read More
04.04.2011 / METTE RAMSGARD THOMSEN
04.04.2011, 15:00, Mette Ramsgard Thomsen @ HPT C 103 CITA, Copenhagen. cita.karch.dk A Sensitive Architecture: Designing for a Materially Graded Architecture. Architecture is engaged in a radical rethinking of its material practice. Advancements in material science and more complex models of material simulation as well as the interfaces between design and fabrication are fundamentally... Read More
30.03.2011 / DANIEL BISIG
30.03.2011, 14:00, Daniel Bisig @ CAAD, HPZ F Institute for Computer Music and Sound Technology, ZHDK. Swarm Simulation in Interactive Art Swarm simulations model the coherent movement of a large groups of animals. They represent a classical category of multi-agent systems that rely on principles of self-organization to give raise to a variety of emergent phenomena. Accordingly,... Read More
28.03.2011 / RUAIRI GLYNN
28.03.2011, 16:00, Ruairi Glynn @ CAAD, HPZ F www.ruairiglynn.co.uk Motive Architecture. Although Vitruvius’s treaties included clocks, waterworks and mobile war machines; architecture is often understood to be an art of space, not of time. Architecture’s traditional role has been the spatial backdrop to social interaction and performance: In the 20th Century, Price’s... Read More
