Conference: Building Data: Architecture, Memory and New Imagination

23 November 2022 10:30 till 24 November 2022 21:30 - Location: Berlage Room 1 & Het Nieuwe Instituut - By: Communication BK | Add to my calendar

On 23 and 24 November, the Bakema conference 'Building Data: Architecture, Memory and New Imagination' takes place.

About the conference

Important questions that will be adressed:

  • How can we explore digital archives to think new imaginaries and develop new narratives about and by buildings? 
  • In which visual and written languages are the new narratives and imaginaries created, and how are they organised?
  • Are there other kinds of narrative systems, non-visual, non-linguistic? Material and sensory ones? And what would that mean? Who is developing the narratives, and for whom?
  • If post-humanism might (re-)direct the new data-landscapes, what sort of data buildings might come out of this shift?
  • And, how do data collections change architectural research and practice regarding the past, present, and future?

The conference is connected to The New Open, the new flagship project of the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, TU Delft, led by Georg Vrachliotis and the Theory of Architecture and Digital Culture Group. It continues some of the themes of the 2020 conference: Repositioning Architecture in the Digital, in which we explored the emergence of the data society in the 1970s.
