Archis

Volume presented at the ‘Positions in Exchange’ conference, hosted by Haus der Architektur Graz, November 15-17. It was a check on the public position of architectural institutes and architects in various cities. Institutions in Prague, Ljublijana, Basel, Frankfurt and New York, combined with architects of their choice (we presented together with Stalker) showed that the focus is on the social and political dimensions again. In general it became clear that the political and cultural context of each determined the responses to current development in the field and the options for public intervention. Our position was to advocate a proactive and activating approach, to redirect the attention to major issues in our societies, and to focus on doing instead of discussing.
Let’s check their upcoming programs to see the results.
