ARCHAISM, AMNESIA AND ANARCHY IN/OF ARCHITECTURE

The workshop explores traditions and appropriation of ideas of
sustainability, heritage and energy with leading thinkers and experts, in
the exotic and extreme setting of Iceland.

Participants get hands-on experience with basic natural building materials
- turf, stone, clay, wind and water - in the context of critical theory.

We engage in dialogue with experts, examine the tactile qualities of
various materials from the point of view of the participants´ own
experiences, background and notions of sustainability, recycling and
contemporary architectural and three-dimensional practice and
possibilities. Participants will also experience the unique Icelandic
setting in terms of geography, climate, natural energy, history and
society through fieldwork and excursions.

Ideal for curators working in the sector of the built environment,
students in museum studies and those who are interested in aspects of
green museums.
