Venice, October 24, 2018

 

Graduate students with an ongoing or finished study are welcome to participate in TAU City Center workshop at Venice on October 2018.

In addition, students can participate as feedback crowd, without any presentation of their academic work.

 

Background:

The 16th Biennale International Architecture Exhibition will take place from May 26th to November 25th 2018 at the Giardini and the Arsenale, and around other venues in Venice. This year's exhibition is titled Freespace. Freespace can be a space for opportunity, a democratic space, un-programmed and free for uses not yet conceived. There is an exchange between people and buildings that happens, even if not intended or designed, so buildings themselves find ways of sharing and engaging with people over time, long after the architect has left the scene (from the official Biennale website).

The aim of this international workshop is to discuss comparatively the free versus the enslaving aspects of smart cities and thus explicate their potentials, prospects and discontents.

 

Submission:

Students who wish to present their academic work at the workshop will send a paper proposal. Students who will not deliver their presentation by a lecture, are encouraged to present their academic work in the form of a poster. The workshop will include a "Poster Session".
