Description

'Everyday Tectonics? Critical call for current tectonic theories and
practices in everyday architecture'
Mini-Symposium

Everyday architecture may be considered as mundane or as 'a-tectonic', whereas thorough tectonic reflections are often considered as part of more advanced and high-end architecture that holds iconic status. This mini-symposium critically addresses such understandings and intends to question how everyday architecture can be qualified by means of general tectonic considerations.

Questions that are raised: How to position and release this potential within the economical and technical conditions that govern everyday architecture? Which technological innovations can be developed as part of a tectonic approach to everyday architecture? And what is the role of the architect and engineer in this matter?
