Program
Concept
This interdisciplinary conference is organized by the Chair of Architecture Theory and the Lectureship of Sociology at the Department of Architecture ETH Zurich, in cooperation with the Delft School of Design at the Delft University of Technology and the Academie Jan van Eyck. It addresses contemporary processes of urbanization by focusing on the theory of production of space by the French philosopher Henri Lefebvre (1901 – 1991). Lefebvre’s theory of space as socially produced and productive in social practices is currently rediscovered by architects and social scientists as a broad framework for an understanding of the contemporary processes of urbanization. This conference brings together recent applications of Lefebvre’s theory in architecture, urban design, and social sciences in order to go beyond this theory and to conceive new analytical concepts and design tools in response to the emerging urban society.
Zurich conference: call for contributions
Encouraged by the Delft symposium, the conference in Zurich will advance Lefebvre’s theory beyond its historical context. The conference is addressed both to participants of the Delft symposium and to other scholars and practitioners working with Lefebvre’s theory. The organizers invite proposals for papers which develop Lefebvre’s theory by sharpening its analytical concepts in response to today’s processes of urbanization and by conceiving new design tools for urbanism and architecture.
Possible topics of contributions include, but are not limited to:
