Face to Face III: Light, soft and strong - Material futures

 

Face to Face III: Light, soft and strong - Material futures
Talk: 28.10.2013 // 7p.m. // DAZ, Köpenicker Straße 48/49, 10179 Berlin

4. Conversation in the series "Face to Face: Conversations on and around architecture, space and society" curated by Francesca Ferguson (Urban Drift Projects).

Face to Face is a series of in-depth, unmoderated dialogues between architects based in Germany and a conversation partner of their choice. The goal of each conversation is to dig deep into concepts, research and working philosophies that define each hosts’ current practice.

The architect Christiane Sauer and the aerospace engineer Adriaan Beukers will discuss whether the buildings of the future should be constructed like airplanes and which new interdisciplinary alliances will determine the future development of materials. Why are traditional materials such as textiles once again of such key significance as high-performance materials? The range of their talk will extend from lightweight constructions to intelligent surfaces.

Language: English. Refreshments and conversations will follow.

"Face to Face" is supported by the Bundesministerium für Verkehr, Bau und Stadtentwicklung, Aco, Clestra, Fritz Hansen, Kvadrat, Epson, Stiebel Eltron and Viessmann.
