The Bio-Environmental Design Laboratory at the University of Flores (UFLO) invites you to the second free lecture of the ENVIRONMENT and CITY series, which aims to foster reflection and the exchange of perspectives on environmental issues within the urban context.
The spring edition of the series focuses on "scale" in architecture. Everything is a matter of "scale." Whether as a projective tool or a universal system of measurement and comprehension, scale permeates the discipline at different moments and in different ways. From the relationship between a project and its context to issues of representation, to speak of scale is to speak of architecture. This edition of the Architectural Culture Lecture Series [CCCA] explores various practices and projects to delve into its extraordinary richness.
How can we design complex solutions for leadership in decision-making? How is knowledge constructed, and what is the validity of that knowledge? Does objectivity exist in the sciences? What is intersubjectivity?
The most innovative voices and actions on the global stage warn that we are witnessing a global crisis of the current consumerist and materialist paradigm. This crisis is political, scientific, technological, and educational. Faced with this reality, the need to trigger a paradigm shift arises. This change requires a true rupture in the theory of knowledge (epistemology) and in individual, social, and public (policy) practices.
