How I met the Designosaur - Eine Denkfigur im Anthropozän


05.07.23 - Lecture in the framework of "Mit:twoch".

A visit into the present - the Anthropocene - and the search for a contemporary architectural attitude generated the figure of the Designosaurs. Familiar and ambivalent. Sober and emotional. Victim and causer. A friend, an enemy and the only species we should not feel sad for, if it does not survive the sixth mass extinction in the history of the earth.

Educational Platform - Teaching Practices Lunch Series


21.02.30 - The Educational Platform is a space of sharing and gathering practices of experimentation as a transformative field radically engaged with architectural pedagogy. The educational platform is working as a “collaborative field agent” that senses, adapts, and creates the contemporary tasks of the Anthropocene in spatial education. The Teaching Practices Series presents and discusses the Anthropocene Pedagogies participating in the platform.

Der Designosaur -  eine Denkfigur im Anthropozän


10.02.23 - Lecture in the framework of the "Bauen-Denken-Machen" lecture series at the Münster School of Architecture.

No one intentionally designs a Designosaur! We do it out of habit, ignorance and the lack of contemporary narratives in a radically different environment - the Anthropocene, Capitalocene, Chtulucene. In search of the spaces and constructions of the present, we discuss and argue based on our experience and habits and with the vocabulary and concepts of thought from the past - the geological epoch of the Holocene. It is the same habits and thinking concepts that have caused the challenges of the present. How do we need to design so that we don't design a Designosaurs? So buildings that are designed with outdated thought patterns of the Holocene, but built in the present - the Anthropocene. The figure of the designosaurs is a tool for establishing new, radical thoughts and new narratives.
