Free Admission

“Forests have been haunting western civilization from its earliest beginnings. However, in contrast to its romantic, idealizing view, there exists the understanding of forest-as-industry, spawning a great number of land experiments, advanced technologies and designed spaces. Looking at that trajectory, the presentation will discuss possible ways of rethinking the complex interaction between forests and architectures.”

“The lecture is constructed around the notion of the journey as an interval between the memory of the place one has just left and the anticipation—contrasted with the actuality—of arrival at one’s destination. Two projects, the Drive-in House and the Temple Island study, implying two very different types of journey, are used to illuminate this theme.”
