UPCOMING EVENTS

The first School’s Out! after the summer break continues our Landscape Lecture Series, curated by Peter Veenstra and Leire Calvillo (LOLA Landscape Architects). This edition features French landscape architect Pablo Georgieff, co-founder of Coloco. Bringing together landscape architects, urban planners, botanists, gardeners, and artists, Coloco explores the relationship between people and the places they inhabit through projects ranging from territorial strategies to garden-making. Pablo will talk about the work of Coloco, that is guided by a commitment to creating new forms of coexistence between human and non-human life in contemporary landscapes. Tickets available for 5 euro here.

As Tech Bros exert increasing influence over our society, urgent questions arise: How can we democratise digital technology? What does it mean to be human in this digital age? How can we harness digital technologies to promote our well-being and foster a just, healthy, and resilient society? For this edition of Back to School..., we examine how digital technologies are reshaping the built environment, and how these transformations influence the ways we inhabit and experience it. How are digital technologies influencing the way our cities function, how they are imagined, represented, and designed? What does it mean for the way environments are produced, consumed, and understood? By examining the relationships between power, representation, and space, this series aims to develop a better and critical understanding of the (post)digital condition and encourage possibilities for imagining alternative futures.
