Zur Neukonstruktion der Welt aus der Diversität ihrer Regionen Ein e‐Forum an der TU Wien Institut für Architektur und Entwerfen Forschungsbereich Gebäudelehre 15. Juni 2021, 17:30 (CET) Dieses E‐Forum anlässlich der stark erweiterten, bei Routledge erschienenen Neuauflage des Buchs The Architecture of Regionalism in the Age of Globalization von Alexander Tzonis und Liane Lefaivre findet in einer Zeit beispielloser Krisen statt. Angesichts der Herausforderungen, die sich aus der anhaltenden Zerstörung von Ökologie, Ressourcen, Kultur, Gemeinschaften und Gesundheit ergeben, stehen Architekten unter dem Druck, sich neue Handlungsoptionen vorzustellen und kritisch (also ohne Vorurteile oder Konformität) neue entwurfsbezogen, technische, rechtliche und moralische Verantwortung zu übernehmen. Ein besonders heikles Problem in diesem Zusammenhang ist das künftige Verhältnis zwischen Regionalismus und Globalisierung: Ist es ein Konflikt oder eine Zusammenarbeit, soll die Welt "flach" werden, um die Vielfalt der Regionen zu beseitigen, oder soll sie durch die Gestaltung von "Gipfeln und Tälern" der regionalen Identität verbessert werden? Sollten sich die Regionen autonom und frei entwickeln oder sollten sie sich in planvoller Zusammenarbeit verbünden? Die Veranstaltung lädt ein, Ideen, Plänen und Visionen zu entwickeln, und versammelt bedeutende Architekten und Planer, die sich mit diesem Thema in der heutigen Welt befassen: Nondita Correa‐Mehrotra, RMA Architects, Mumbai + Boston Anna Heringer, Studio Anna Heringer, Laufen Liane Lefaivre, die Angewandte, Vienna Toshiko Mori, Harvard GSD, Cambridge and New York David Porter, Glasgow School of Art, Glasgow Jurgen Roseman, TU Delft, Delft Alexander Tzonis, TU Delft, Delft Moderation: Christian Kühn, TU Wien
