Pascal Schumacher’s unique aptitude and sensitivity with the vibraphone are unparalleled, having been developed in no less than four of Europe’s most notable conservatories including the Luxembourg Conservatory where he now teaches percussion and jazz vibraphone. Over a 25-year career, he has explored the links that exist between many musical genres, making it difficult to pigeon–hole his talent, taste or musical influences. Schumacher has made a name for himself in a variety of collaborative endeavours from trios and quartets to symphonic orchestras, with a repertoire that spans contemporary classical music to pop-infused jazz.

In these times when we are experiencing an extraordinary situation that limits travel and the possibility of holding events together, we still want to keep alive the debate on the dissemination of architecture in the media. For this reason, this year the venue of the event moves from the inspiring Mies van der Rohe Pavilion in Barcelona to the YouTube channel of Fundació Mies van der Rohe.

The European Conference on Architecture & the Media is conceived as a place to meet and exchange experiences on the dissemination of architecture. It is addressed to journalists, cultural institutions and organisations, communication professionals, architects and architecture lovers.

When we came together in February to celebrate the launch of Gathering, we considered transformational retail experiences rooted in brand values; the desire to physically experience a brand – both by drawing energy and inspiration from being in a store to the tactility of the product; and the role retail environments play as a third space in our larger communities. Repeatedly we heard the refrain; “bad retail is dying.” We discussed how retail brands have adapted to embody their values, designed for experiences, and built authentic connections with their consumer base. In today’s context we’re considering the future of that experience in the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic.
