La Princeton School of Architecture e la Harvard Graduate School of
Design ospitano il simposio Against Reality organizzato dal
Berlage Institute PhD Program
in collaborazione con le istituzioni statunitensi.
Durante l'evento Pier Vittorio Aureli Alexander D'Hooge e Roemer Van
Toorn presenteranno il loro lavoro di ricerca svolto all'interno del
programma "Phd Progressive Research".
"We have to do more than embracing what's 'just' out there, designing
the everyday, and 'just' analyzing our rapidly mutating spaces. Because
of its high degree of Salonfähigkeit, architecture has lost much of
its urgency. Critical evaluations will not bring alternatives if we
don't also take into account what kind of ideological even utopian
projections architecture could enact through its material practices.
We should ask ourselves: Can the architect project alternatives that
deal with the urgent questions and issues of our civilization? Should
architects take responsibility for creating a public sphere that reaches
further than the principles of economic warfare? For making city centers
into more than amusement parks for tourists? For uncovering landscapes
that counter the culture of sprawl? To encourage activities other
than shopping as the primary ritual of urban life? To define where
the city ends and the countryside begins? To preserve local qualities
under the pressure of globalization? Can we influence the spatial
organization of a truly multicultural society? Make the formal the
syntax of matter relate to the social again? Become projective again?"

Vittorio Aureli, Alexander D'Hooge, Roemer Van Toorn)
