On the Everyday
As part of the exhibition “Make Do With Now: New Directions in Japanese Architecture”, the Swiss Architecture Museum is organizing a series of informal talks events. We are very happy, to host the first part of the event series in our office location in the Basel harbor. From the Infotext of the S AM:
„Each event, which will take place in the workspace of a young practice based in Basel, brings together three practitioners working on similar themes in different locations: one from Japan, one the EU, and one from Switzerland. Short presentations of their work will be followed by an open-format discussion in which members of the audience are actively encouraged to take part. The first event in this series focuses on the ‘Everyday’. How does one interpret and evaluate the unspectacular scenery and situations of the everyday, and what tools are available to facilitate this process? What does it mean to design with the everyday life of a space beyond its completion in mind? And how might the everyday inspire a new form of aesthetics and ethics in architecture? These are some of the topics we are looking forward to discussing with our guests, who have been developing different approaches towards the quotidian in their work.”
