ACC Lectures 2022 | MIND the GAP

In order to trigger a reflection about the role and the responsibility of the architect of the future, the lecture series aims to open a conversation about manifold disciplinary, ontological or linguistic gaps we see around us. Indeed, as we may observe in the design practice, Architecture is constantly confronted with the urge to mind the above-mentioned gaps. This occurs exclusively when translating some disciplinary peculiarities to other knowledge branches, in the convergence between theoretical teachings and the contingencies of professional practices, as in the encounter of global issues and the ordinary everyday. The lecture series “MIND the GAP” proposes to focus on these distances by unfolding a collective critical reflection. In order to shape a coherent yet heterogeneous program, different thematic voids have been translated to open questions.
