“Inhabiting Geometry”
synapse
Visionary projects from the Western World seem all but gone. Eastern World seems to still keep idealistic visions about social design and social geometry. As an example the visionary work by Anne Tyng invested in inhabiting radical geometry has been left completely unknown. She was a devoted collaborator of Louis Kahn who has roots from Estonia. Tyng, like many of her contemporaries and women did not have a chance. Like then, also today the visions of many contemporary practices that are experimental and in dissent from the mainstream are situated as marginal. What is the role of potentially lasting visions and emerging new architectural practices vis-a-vis emerging democracies? This lecture will aim to give some clues on this topic, exchange some of the relevant research projects by the School of Missing Studies, design projects by NAO, and have an active discussion with the audience.
