Exhibition
The exhibition High Tech Low Tech stems from the consideration that any building designed according to the currently dominant architectural principles is ‘zombie’, non-living, as it is based on technologies and energies that will soon be exhausted or too costly for the planet. This zombie perspective invites us to reconsider the way we approach architecture, to ‘de-project’ it by reappropriating the tools of thinking and doing.
By taking technology out of the ghost of innovation, the exhibition looks at techniques that emerge from hybrid, localised, living cultures, based on knowledge and skills – between engineer and bricoleur – that are transferred and contaminated across disciplines and social groups. Neither high-tech nor low-tech, these experiments represent a sample of minoritarian but fertile approaches that can help us to rethink our relationship with the built environment and architectural practice.

Talk
‘This BK Talks will discuss the present and future of editorial practices in design, bringing to the table a group of renowned professionals from the publishing world, moderated by members of student-run magazine of the BK Faculty, BNieuws. In the realm of design journals and publications, the current pandemic seems to have just accelerated the ongoing shift towards a more networked approach to the profession. In this context, publishers, editors and critics have had to rethink their position, realising that traditional ideas of “dissemination” do not always correspond to ways in which we currently gather information. On the one hand, the rise of more decentralised ways of publishing gave prominence to popular online platforms, where designers are able to upload their own content. However, this format can also result in an indirect manipulation by other interests beyond design. While adapting to a present where we can easily search for new designs on the web, some widely-read publications have been prioritising alternative content: more politically engaged, multi-disciplinary and discursive. While strongly contributing to opening up architectural discourse in profound ways, this is also an approach that might fail to deliver clear messages and ideas on the subject of design, especially to the general public. Is it significant to disseminate architectural knowledge and criticism to a mainstream public? If so, are we disseminating criticism throughout the right channels? How will the current transformations in the production and reception of information affect the format, as well as the content, of design publications?’
Moderators: Tuyen Le and Alessandro Rognoni. Panelists: Merel Pit, Mark Minkjan, Carlo Menon, Enrique Encabo, Andrej Radman. Video featurettes: Iker Gil, Nuria Moliner, Ethel Baraona Pohl, Ilka Ruby. TU Delft and online broadcast.

Sandra Bartoli (Architektur im Gebrauch, Berlin), Olaf Grawert (Brandlhuber+/ ETH Zürich), Cédric Libert (CIVA Foundation, Brussels), Carlo Menon & Sophie Dars (Accattone, Brussels), Erica Overmeer (Impresión Mexicana, Index Architecture/Index Art Book Fair, Mexico and Berlin) and Mirko Zardini (Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montreal) will present one publication—not necessary of their own making—and discuss why it's relevant for them personally and for the discipline. In doing so, they will also discuss their own practice of publishing.’
This event is held in the frame of Miss Read/ Berlin Art Book Festival, 3-5 May 2019.

23 JUNE — 24 SEPT 2017
Exhibition
Accattone was invited to curate the first exhibition of the new Contemporary Architecture Department at the CIVA Foundation, Brussels.
Corporate Arcadia looks at what is usually disregarded by architecture culture: the corporate architecture of banking headquarters, office buildings and hotels that has mostly shaped the city of Brussels in the 1990s and early 2000s.
It does so with a twist:
1/ Armin Linke’s photographic work from inside the Corporate Arcadia reveals the hidden activities of fifteen institutions and at the same time ‘restores beauty to these invisible sites’, overlapping architecture, interior design and social functions.
2/ Magazine excerpts and videos offer thematic insights and counterpoints in the form of seven ‘double figures’, letting emerge multiple dimensions and critical knots.
3/ Models and documents retrieved on site or from the architects’ archives are called to perform as embodied figures on a stepped theatre of objects: if their position is static, the concepts they carry are mobile, open to interpretation and recombination.

Exhibition
The exhibition High Tech Low Tech stems from the consideration that any building designed according to the currently dominant architectural principles is ‘zombie’, non-living, as it is based on technologies and energies that will soon be exhausted or too costly for the planet. This zombie perspective invites us to reconsider the way we approach architecture, to ‘de-project’ it by reappropriating the tools of thinking and doing.
By taking technology out of the ghost of innovation, the exhibition looks at techniques that emerge from hybrid, localised, living cultures, based on knowledge and skills – between engineer and bricoleur – that are transferred and contaminated across disciplines and social groups. Neither high-tech nor low-tech, these experiments represent a sample of minoritarian but fertile approaches that can help us to rethink our relationship with the built environment and architectural practice.

Talk
‘This BK Talks will discuss the present and future of editorial practices in design, bringing to the table a group of renowned professionals from the publishing world, moderated by members of student-run magazine of the BK Faculty, BNieuws. In the realm of design journals and publications, the current pandemic seems to have just accelerated the ongoing shift towards a more networked approach to the profession. In this context, publishers, editors and critics have had to rethink their position, realising that traditional ideas of “dissemination” do not always correspond to ways in which we currently gather information. On the one hand, the rise of more decentralised ways of publishing gave prominence to popular online platforms, where designers are able to upload their own content. However, this format can also result in an indirect manipulation by other interests beyond design. While adapting to a present where we can easily search for new designs on the web, some widely-read publications have been prioritising alternative content: more politically engaged, multi-disciplinary and discursive. While strongly contributing to opening up architectural discourse in profound ways, this is also an approach that might fail to deliver clear messages and ideas on the subject of design, especially to the general public. Is it significant to disseminate architectural knowledge and criticism to a mainstream public? If so, are we disseminating criticism throughout the right channels? How will the current transformations in the production and reception of information affect the format, as well as the content, of design publications?’
Moderators: Tuyen Le and Alessandro Rognoni. Panelists: Merel Pit, Mark Minkjan, Carlo Menon, Enrique Encabo, Andrej Radman. Video featurettes: Iker Gil, Nuria Moliner, Ethel Baraona Pohl, Ilka Ruby. TU Delft and online broadcast.

‘Introduced by Mark Wigley (Columbia University) and moderated by Francisco Moura Veiga (A FORSCHUNG / CARTHA Magazine/ETH Zurich) and Anh-Linh Ngo (ARCH+, Berlin), the symposium brings together an international panel to discuss publishing as an alternative spatial practice. Sandra Bartoli (Architektur im Gebrauch, Berlin), Olaf Grawert (Brandlhuber+/ ETH Zürich), Cédric Libert (CIVA Foundation, Brussels), Carlo Menon & Sophie Dars (Accattone, Brussels), Erica Overmeer (Impresión Mexicana, Index Architecture/Index Art Book Fair, Mexico and Berlin) and Mirko Zardini (Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montreal) will present one publication—not necessary of their own making—and discuss why it's relevant for them personally and for the discipline. In doing so, they will also discuss their own practice of publishing.’
This event is held in the frame of Miss Read/ Berlin Art Book Festival, 3-5 May 2019.
Thanks to WBI / WBA for contributing to the travel expenses.
