24-25 Jan, 2020 ETH Hönggerberg HIB Open Space 2

Is architecture evermore concerned with coexisting with the world of diverse materialities and agencies, by communicating with our inner world? The symposium aims to evoke architectonic sensitivities on the basic level, in particular, on the level of infrastructural technics and speculative activities. Through the idea of Naturing Affairs, various ways of grounding, ordering, living, transcending, articulating one’s condition in relation to Nature are investigated.
