Lecture: Dreaming Out Loud - by Johann Eckartz
On 8 January, Johann Eckartz will give a lecture on his cabinet presentation as part of Dreaming Out Loud.
In collaboration with the Friends of SCHUNCK, a lecture will be held as the finissage of the DOL exhibition. This lecture will offer an opportunity to bring together and reflect upon the exhibited works and overarching themes in a dialogue. The lecture aims to deepen the content presented in the exhibition and video and to encourage an open exchange on the future of building and the role of architecture in today's and tomorrow’s society.
In the lecture, Johann Eckartz and Wolfgang Zeh would like to use individual projects to show how they want to approach the act of building in the future. How do we build? Who are we building for? Are we even allowed to build after all?
