A series of public discussions moderated by IKA GLC professors Anastassia Smirnova-Berlin and Alexander Sverdlov bring together design practitioners from various generations and cultural contexts who are interested in the next demarcation of their professional field.
The guests will demonstrate that architecture could be understood very broadly - also as curatorship, heritage preservation, social design or research - and, at the same time, will propagate the power of architectural system thinking.
The term grid is central to all conversations. It serves as a metaphor for all well-established, often rigid structures of the past - built and intangible - that can be updated, rethought or abandoned altogether in response to the major planetary issues.
Going off grid therefore means developing concepts with an alternative logic and proposing solutions that imply disconnection from or at least a critique of centrally governed matrices.
