CONVIVIUM 04.02.10

CONVIVIUM
FRIDAY APRIL 2 // 730 - 930 PM
MILLER HELLER HOUSE
122 EDDY ST, COLLEGETOWN

CONVIVIUM is a salon-style gathering intended to
promote lively discourse regarding problems and
topics central to the discipline of architecture.

Our activities stem from a central investigation: “What
is an act of design?” We will examine the divergent
design philosophies of COLIN ROWE and O.M. UNGERS
in order to interpolate their pedagogical implications. What
do techniques of bricolage and typlological iteration stand
to offer? Can we trace the lineage from these modes of
architectural analysis and production to contemporary
methods? We will debate these and other issues in an
attempt to understand the ways in which these techniques
have transformed architectural education.
