New spatial requirements, societal demands, and economic values in architecture
January 16–May 20, 2021
ANCB The Aedes Metropolitan Laboratory presents an international symposium to accompany the exhibition HUMAN SCALE REMEASURED, with Marcel Fratzscher, Silja Graupe, Momoyo Kaijima, Marco Carrano, Hendrik Weiner, and Jeremy Anterola, moderated by Nora Sophie Griefahn.
Format: The event will be held online and can be streamed live at ancb.de and ANCB’s Facebook page. A video recording will be made accessible afterwards. Registration is not required. The symposium language is English. Audience questions can be posed via sli.do.
HUMAN SCALE REMEASURED presents exemplary built projects and outstanding conceptual models by architects and planners from all over the world. The exhibition and accompanying symposium offer new visions for the built environment concerned with a better socioeconomic coherence. With HUMAN SCALE REAMEASURED, ANCB proposes a solution-oriented contribution to the discussion that our way of life is losing its measure in overwhelming expansions, short-sighted decision-making, and the demand for immediate economic profit.
The symposium will put conceptual approaches—especially focusing on alternative, resourceful and post-growth economic and finance models—up for discussion, and will present the exhibition catalogue, which combines a documentation of the show with in-depth essays.
