Virtual 2023 features a diverse range of sessions, discussions, and networking opportunities.

Responding to increasing land prices and rents, for instance in Germany, a discussion about possible solutions and methods to avoid land speculation has evolved.

The conference focuses on High-Tech Architecture of the 1970s to the 1990s as heritage, aiming to create an architectural-historical basis for further research on their preservation.

The aim of the symposium is to give an overview of the current state of research on Erik Gunnar Asplund.

The symposium tackles some critical questions, which are at the core of practice: How do architects build a frame of reference? Which are the under-acknowledged and (un)common precedents that inspire architectural design in terms of diversity, culture and socio-political contexts? Is there potential in seeking architectural precedents in adjacent disciplines such as literature, music, the culinary, visual, and performing arts, and beyond?

This conference is envisaged as a listening exercise. The organizers regard a conversation as both codified practice as well as a specific act of verbal exchange, spoken or written, on a particular subject – here architectures, cities, and landscapes – occurring in a specific site, from street to salon, kitchen to court, construction site to theatre, field to church, or book to newspaper, to name but a few.
