NEVER AGAIN RESISTANCE? - Steinhaus Architecture Workshop and Symposium 2012

NEVER AGAIN RESISTANCE? Steinhaus Architecture Workshop and Symposium 2012 in Memoriam Günther Domenig Symposium Saturday, September 29, 10am-3pm Hitoshi Abe, Chair UCLA, Los Angeles/Sendai, JP Marcos Cruz, Director Bartlett School of Architecture / London Hernan Diaz-Alonso, SCI-Arc, Los Angeles / Buenos Aires Peter Ebner, UCLA, Los Angeles / Munich Kurt W. Forster, Yale School of Architecture, New Haven, Connecticut Mark Mack, UCLA, Los Angeles Thom Mayne, UCLA, Los Angeles / New York Peter Noever, Curator-at-large, Vienna Georg Wald, Haus der Architektur, Klagenfurt Workshop September 26-30, 2012 This event celebrates the act of architectural resistance in a time of so called austerity and developer-driven expectations. Is architectural innovation dead? What are the trends of architecture resistance? Can and should architects engage in socio-cultural change or stick to aesthetic issues? What is anti-norm of today? International students, architectural educators and practicing professionals will discuss these issues and more during a workshop and a symposia. Günther Domenig's Steinhaus (which numbers among the keyworks of experimental architecture, is one of the most stricting examples of Domenig's (1934-2012) uncompromising search for an individual form of expression, and also a convincing example for his unabated resistance) presents a unique background for this architectural event "NEVER AGAIN RESISTANCE?" and will examine the role of the architect and what it means to be a student of architecture now.
