The symposium asks:
How can we reconfigure architecture from an idealisation of the new, the permanent and the durable to a new language of fragility and temporality? This symposium asks how a critical enquiry into where our resources arrive from, how they are deployed and what lifespans they engage can change architecture’s material practice. With a new critical positioning of what cascading can become in a rethinking of care, adaptation and repair practice, we ask how building can rethink how, through what and by whom they are built.
The symposium addresses:
Researchers and students, that work on questions of circularity and sustainability and how this extends from questions of design and fabrication to those of resource, building operation, care and adaptation.
