“Architecture and Materiality: From Vitruvius to the Digital Era”. Open Lecture by Antoine Picon

On May 11th at 6 pm, the Open Lecture Series of the faculty of architecture will be happy to present architect and historian researching the history of architecture and urban technologies, Antoine Picon, at Kanuti Gildi SAAL (Pikk 20, Tallinn). Open Lectures are open to all architecture and design students, professionals and general audience intrigued by spatial and design matters: the lectures are in English and free of charge.

Antoine Picon is the G. Ware Travelstead Professor of the History of Architecture and Technology and Director of Research at the Harvard GSD and Director of Research at the Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées in Paris. Trained as an engineer, architect, and historian, Picon works on the history of architectural and urban technologies from the eighteenth century to the present. He has published extensively on this subject.

Four of his books are devoted to the transition from early-modern societies to the industrial era.
With La Ville territoire des cyborgs (1998), Picon began to investigate the changes brought to cities and architecture by the development of digital tools and digital culture.
His three most recent books are dealing extensively with this question. Digital Culture in Architecture: An Introduction for the Design Profession (2010) offers a comprehensive overview of this important transition. Ornament: The Politics of Architecture and Subjectivity (2013) focuses on the “return” of ornament in digital architecture to further the investigation. Finally, Smart Cities: A Spatialised Intelligence (2015) discusses its impact on cities.

Open Lecture Series is supported by Estonian Cultural Endowment and organised by the Estonian Academy of Arts architecture department. All lectures are in English and free of charge.
Series is curated by Sille Pihlak and Siim Tuksam (PART)

Open lecture: M CASEY REHM

“Narcissism of Small Differences” 2015

Apophenic Machines. Open Lecture by M. Casey Rehm (Kinch, SCI-Arch)

On April 27th at 6 pm, the Open Lecture Series of the architecture faculty will be happy to present Los Angeles based architect M. Casey Rehm at Kanuti Gildi SAAL (Pikk 20, Tallinn). Open Lectures are open to all architecture and design, IT and robotics, but also fine arts students, professionals and general audience intrigued by spatial, urban and design matters: the lectures are in English and free of charge.

M. Casey Rehm founded his design and algorithmic consulting studio to explore the area spanning from architectural design and interactive media to robotic software development, data visualization and algorithmic consulting. The studio currently focuses on projects driven by the use of non-human intelligent agents to mediate and amplify the relationship between the digital, analog, and the human. Rehm’s lecture in Tallinn will discuss Kinch’s interest in the role non-human intelligences and contemporary developments in automation can inform new aesthetics and reshape the practice of design; he will present a series of research lines ranging from media, robotics, and pavilion design and construction.

M. Casey Rehm received a MSAAD from Columbia University in 2009 and his BARCH from Carnegie Mellon University in 2005. He has over 10 years of architectural experience, working for firms in New York, Los Angeles, Berlin, and London prior to opening Kinch. Currently he teaches design studios and seminars in architecture, programming and robotics in design at SCI-Arc in Los Angeles.

SISU Symposium of Interior Architecture and Spatial Use 2017 “Naked Space”
7. – 8. 06. Luzern, Neubad, Switzerland and Mobile Classroom of the EAA Dept of Interior Architecture, in Tallinn

The SISU 2017 symposium will focus on re-use of interior space and community-driven redesign processes. The symposium will shed light on the question, how interior architecture is able to create an identity for naked space while ‘re-dressing’ it, and how this can contribute new value to the whole neighbourhood. What are our needs today and how does it influence the re-purposing process? How can we investigate the space inside the buildings of the past?

SISU will approach these questions across different disciplines including interior architects/designers, architects, filmmakers, academics and students from different cultures for the first time in parallel in Switzerland and in Estonia.

The Estonian Association of Interior Architects, the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Art / School of Engineering and Architecture, the Estonian Academy of Arts / Department of Interior Architecture and the Association of Swiss Interior Architects have the honour of inviting You to the 4th International Interior Architecture Symposium SISU
