Kersten Geers of OFFICE presents speculative projects and recent built work. Geers discusses the work of OFFICE as it relates to conversations around autonomy, representation, aesthetics, and context in contemporary architectural discourse.
Princeton University School of Architecture's fall 2013 lecture series presents a series of lectures and public debates about the aesthetics of the Rarefied: what is the architecture that grows in a resource-depleted environment? Rarefied aims to capture an environment, an atmosphere of asphyxia which surrounds a practice driven by the lack of financial credit and natural resources. Which are the practices and the aesthetics that will succeed these decades of excess, and the architecture that results from them?
The Rarefied sessions are set in a round-table format where speakers join Princeton SoA faculty members and selected graduate students in a studio-like environment. The lectures are streamed online for the general public. Every session will be focused on a particular modality of the Rarefied.
