Sessions on Territory
Urbanism as Material Accumulation
SESSIONS ON TERRITORY is a series of public debates on the political economy of architecture and territory. Focusing on the material cultures of architecture and urbanism — from territories of resource extraction to the construction site — the upcoming series unravels contemporary forces at work in the formation of the built and natural environments. Through a series of debates with invited guests, the seminar aims to critically reflect on the materiality of contemporary urbanism. Every intervention by a guest speaker is followed by a panel discussion with invited respondents.
The spring semester 2021 Sessions on Territory is curated by Prof Milica Topalović, Asst Prof Charlotte Malterre-Barthes (Harvard GSD), and Hans Hortig.
