sfb 1244 aaec network member symposium

SFB 1244

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Manfred Bischoff is a full professor of “Institute for Structural Mechanics” at the University of Stuttgart, Germany. He received his Doctoral Degree 1999 from the same University and his habilitation 2005 from the Technical University of Munich. In 1999 – 2000 he was a visiting scholar at the University of California, Berkeley. Furthermore, since 2021 he is Deputy Spokesperson of SFB 1244.

Lucio Blandini is an engineer and architect with a special interest for sustainable lightweight systems and the relationship between architecture and technology.  Within the SFB 1244 he focuses on the design and development of light and sustainable façade systems as well as on the engineering of ultralight structures.
Since 2020 he has been the new head of the Institute for Lightweight Structures and Conceptual Design (ILEK) at the University of Stuttgart, where he obtained in 2005 his PhD with the design and development of the Stuttgart Glass Shell, a filigree glass-only shell structure. After completing a master's degree in architecture at the University of Pennsylvania and at the Architectural Association in London, he has spent several years in the praxis, focusing on innovative facades and special structures. Projects as the Ferrari Museum in Modena, the railway Station Stuttgart 21, the House of European History in Brussels, and the Terminal 2 at Kuwait International Airport, show how a creative use of digital tools and an integral approach to planning can lead to beautiful and efficient architectures.

It’s been 6 years since the first Parity Talks at the ETHZ began a discussion around gender and diversity in architecture and planning. This year, forces are joined with four other institutions to reflect on how the situation has evolved for planning disciplines. A day-​long event on the 10th March hosted by the Parity Group at the ETHZ will be a collective questioning of ‘What’s Good?’. Together our current understanding of good practice will be discussed, who decides what is good, and the problems of education based on ideas of excellence. Joined by Womxn in Design (Harvard GSD), Claiming*Spaces (TU Wien), DRAG lab (EPFL), Parity Board (TUM), and the Parity Front, the Parity Talks 6 will be acting as the departure point for a season of digital events across the five institutions, propelling further debates on gender, equity, inclusion and belonging.

“Rethinking Craft: Situated Computations + Repairing Design”

EXC IntCDC

In her lecture Vernelle A. A. Noel will talk about dissappearing craft practices, knowledges, and communities. These practices carry with them histories and cultures of people, knowledges, and social ties to communities. Some reasons for their disappearance include dying practitioners, lacking pedagogy, changing practices, and technocentric developments.

How might we employ computation in the restoration, remediation, and reconfiguration of these practices, knowledges, and communities? Additionally, how might knowledges and innovations in these crafts, repair problems and improve research, practice and pedagogy in computational design?

Intersectional and Resilient: New Forms of Automation for Architecture

EXC IntCDC

It is vital it is to radically rethink what is built, and how, to sustain our future. And one of the most imminent threats, and opportunities, for architecture is automation. While there is a need to increase automation in construction due to significant automation gaps, focussing on the potentials of science and technology alone is not the answer. Nor is an exuberance of form which has fallen into conflict with existing building practices, exacerbating existing disparities in building cultures, practices and experiences. Instead, what is needed is an intersectional approach to automation that places at its centre the design of, and vision for, collective resilience - across disciplines, but most importantly, across lived experiences and subjectivities.

Learning from the social visions common to the 1960s and 1970s, automation can be reframed as a design project. Automation as a design project enables the navigation of a terrain where scientific knowledge and the material production of technologies can be knotted into sociopolitical processes and imaginaries. When framed in this way, automation can become an arena through which issues such as ownership, distribution and cultures of automation in architectural production can be discussed. These are shared and global issues that transcend place, cultures and contexts.
