nature/natural/architectur/(al)
November 8, 2008
With pre-GRE period, graduation horizons, looming move/loss of home and enthusiastic yet procrastination-riddled speakers:: lectures may have some think-time between them. Please contact me if you would like to schedule your talks, people. As for now, I am posting the next confirmed event:
Thomas Storck will discuss the lexical and common modern uses of nature and natural, exploring how the philosophy and forms of architecture, primarily landscape architecture, places humans and human products within or beyond these.
Stephanie Chiorean, Philadelphia Watershed Planner and Philadelphia Orchards Project board-member, will further explore the subject beginning with:
Does “nature” still exist?
Are humans “natural” and therefore, is all we create nature?
Open discussion will follow….
How does architecture address this issue? Technology? Emulation? Instinctively?
December 4th. 8pm. PIFAS. 1712 N 2nd St. Philadelphia, PA.
