Thank you for the material!

We are thrilled that Beatriz Colomina will be joining us next week in Venice to share her research on the impact that social media has had on how we inhabit and understand a city, as well as it’s potential to redefine it.

Stay tuned for more as we prepare for the Instagram takeover of the , from the 21-23rd of July!

We are delighted to announce that Teresa Stoppani will be joining us in Venice to discuss her past research on the discursive and material conditions of the city.

Teresa’s research explores the relationship between architecture theory and the design process in the urban environment, and the influence on the specifically architectural of other spatial and critical practices.

Her current project, ‘Architecture_Dust’, addresses materiality and the undoing of form in architecture.

We’re delighted to announce the opening up of our program’s Lectures for the online public.

Join us virtually to get an insight into the ways in which lecturers will reflect on our terminological investigation of “Throwaway”.

From interrogating various archival practices and exposing the dichotomy between institutionalised methods of record-keeping and alternative forms of recording and producing a city's history, to challenging the tension in which we experience and represent the urban environment, we promise to deliver a rich response to a pressing contemporary issue.

We begin on the 14th of July! To sign up, follow the link in our bio!
