key words

a break down of concrete geometries...

what new technologies in design offer to the human condition
concrete - actual
geometry - constructed environment

PARTICULAR/IMMEDIATE/ACTUAL USE OR PRACTICE

"‘Concrete Geometries’ investigates the intimate relationship between spatial form and human processes - be they social or aesthetic - and the variety of new material entities this relationship might provoke. By bringing together art, architecture, sciences and humanities, we hope to connect fields of knowledge that are currently fragmented through disciplinary boundaries."

Geometry and perception or social processes

Questions to address:

- How is spatial form socially and experientially relevant?

- How does it choreograph human processes?

- Can it stimulate emotional or behavioral responses or create particular aesthetic experiences?

- Can social cultures be pattered through formal configurations of space?

- How can the articulation of a space support acts of inhabitation, appropriation or other types of direct

engagement?

- How do we perceive space visually and bodily?

- What social or aesthetic consequences does the formal articulation of space have for our everyday lives and the production of reality?

- What kind of associations emerge between spatial form and social actors?

INTERDICIPLINIARITY!

WHERE ARE WE PLACED AS AN ARTIST/ARCHITECT/COMMUNITY OR SOCIAL PRACTICE COLLABORATION?

we could have an interesting position, they're inviting a variery of disciplines so we could propose something quite specific to us, maybe observe/suggest/make insertions something existing?
