Ctrl_Space Lab organises the first Theory Workshop "The Athens Manifesto: Critical Thinking on the Contemporary Metropolis" in Athens, April 12-18 2014. The workshop puts forward an analytical agenda on the conditions of the contemporary metropolis addressing Athens as a case study. The objective is to construct a series of manifestos based on: i. the understanding of critical layers defining the issue from a more general perspective combining tools originating from sociology, anthropology, biology, ecology, systems theory, networks, media, history, ii. the investigation of the analytical potential embedded within distinct architectural discursive elements, and iii. the production of an array of 'manifestos' based on the above. In that sense, through a combination of analytical work and original writing and diagrammes developed in the workshop, participants are going to use a given (though open) set of references and data in order to gradually propose their own final position on the issue. The 'manifesto' is selected for its concision as well as its generous rhetorics as the medium most able to initiate a fresh critical discourse on the Athenian Metropolis. Participation is open to architecture, planning and geography students as well as professionals of the aforementioned disciplines. There is a closed number of places available of maximum 12. Applications are open until March 7th . Applicants should e-mail at the address [email protected] the following info: Name, Age, Academic or Professional Details (School, Semester, Profession), languages, mobile phone, address.
