Part I: talking architecture, theory … and
a touch of the Swiss.
This series of discussions, conversations
and events looks at theories and
definitions of architecture. It takes as
its starting point themes arising
from the work of Miroslav Šik in the Swiss
Pavilion and from the Architecture
Biennale’s title Common Ground – questioning
architecture, its origins, autonomy
as a discipline, common influences
and shared roots – and its future.
