Making Futures Bauhausplus is an action-research project that enquires into the future development of the architectural practice addressing two main topics: architecture as a collective form and architecture as a resource. After its first iteration in June, with a plug-in at the Floating University, it now travels to Istanbul for the first in a series of mobile workshops. Taking part will be invited participants as well as those selected via an open call. The rich, four-day-long programme encompasses visits to the biennial, public readings, lectures and site-explorations with local partners.
Mobile workshops are conducted on to move and take the form of ambulatory learning constellations geared towards dialogue, deep collaboration and lasting relations that hope to expand the traditional field of academic research and its network. Most importantly, these real-time constructions reaffirm the project as an open, reflexive and practice driven format.
Some of the many questions we would like to explore during these four days include: How might we learn about the contemporary urban condition and the relation of the subject within it? What the educational formats are needed to develop future imaginaries of what it might mean to become an urban practitioner? And how should the agency of such practice be understood?
Apply!
