Talking Architecture #1
Energy, Time and Place

The first edition, held at the Kiefer Pavilion at PLANTA in November 2013, addressed the perspectives of Energy, Time and Place.

 
Energy

How should architects better close material cycles?
Why has self-sufficiency become a mandatory requirement of architecture?

Time

Architecture should deal with time rather than space.
How should architects approach the theme of time from social and political relations that architecture raises?

Place

How is the architecture established in a site?
How can architecture fit into a place?
