This 2 1/2 day conference invites architectural theorists, historians,
designers and others to explore the industrial, technical and
socio-economic contexts in which building is constituted that are all
too often sidelined within the architectural humanities. Industries of
Architecture will also host a number of open-structured
debate-oriented workshops with the aim of bringing into the discussion
those working in building, technology, law, practice management,
construction or in industry together with researchers in the
architectural humanities. In addition, the opening night features
public screenings of a series of artists’ films that explore the
production of architecture, including the work of Harun Farocki and
Allan Sekula.
