International Forum May 13
Material Postures: Interrogating Design Responses to Industrial Ruin
Case Studies from Lisbon, Montevideo, London and Beijing presented by Marie Sorenson, Yale University and UC Berkeley
Tues., May 13, 5 -5:50 pm in HOLT 170
Adaptive re-use is a category of building design and construction that
has the potential to stimulate dialogue across historical time periods,
beyond social and class boundaries, and between architectural styles from
vernacular to classical to high modern. In the best of worlds, industrial
buildings and sites survive transformation of an urban or peri-urban
district and become fixtures of the everyday public environment. Our
cities are filled with grand spaces of the ordinary sort - malls, airport
terminals, convention halls. Yet, we lack the ‘sublime’ environments that
evoke a popular spirit rather than one of surveillance, consumerism, and
authoritarian control. In this talk Sorenson will argue for ‘equal access’ to grand
monumental space, and - in contrast - for the necessity of small-scale
physical records as well - scuff marks and graffiti, machine parts and
stained walls - that are neither sanitized nor ‘archived’ in the sense of
being moved off site. Public space can evoke the collective emotion of awe
as well as the joy of detail made by the hands of an individual.
