12/13 LECTURE SERIES: WHAT I DID NEXT—PRINCETON'S ALTERNATIVE ARCHITECTURAL PRACTICES
Videos now available on Vimeo
During the academic year 2012/13 Princeton SoA will stage a series of public conversations around alternative practices in architecture through the work of 85 distinguished alumni from the last 25 years. At a moment when the profession is going through some important questions on a global scale, we will explore the broad range of practices of our recent alumni that spin from or gravitate around architecture, seeking alternatives to the established forms of architectural practice. We will highlight Princeton's commitment to experimental work at the edge of the discipline, and on our alumni's engagement with a wide range of contemporary practices to outline propositions for alternative forms of practice. We intend to feature these practices as a sample of the issues that the contemporary practice of architecture has to address, to foreground relevant areas of interest and opportunity. Eight sessions will be held during the Fall '12 term, and eight more during the Spring '13 term, featuring different practice formats, geographies, ideologies and technologies. Curated by Alejandro Zaera-Polo.
