On the 1st of December 2021, Philippe Viérin of noAarchitects will give a lecture entitled ‘Reading Place’ at the Technische Universität Darmstadt in Germany. The lecture is part of the ‘’50 Jahre Positionen’ series: Built Order: Storing Knowledge’.
The architecture of the space around us has a considerable influence on our everyday lives. The starting point of the lecture series “Built Order: Storing Knowledge”, is the observation that architecture configures knowledge spatially and thus plays a significant role in the modulation, enforcement, canonization and institutionalization of epistemic models. Archives, libraries, museums and universities can be understood as materialized orders of knowledge, and the knowledge that is collected, selected, ordered, indexed and mediated in these places is framed spatially. This project will investigate the extent to which concrete architectural framing has an effect on organizational or knowledge structures.
