DESCRIPTION:Yoshiharu Tsukamoto\nDifficult Double is primarily a series of
  lectures\, which aims to offer to EPFL a portrait of the contemporary pan
 orama of culturally involved practices around the world. The format\, echo
 ing the Venturian idea of architecture as a “difficult whole”\, couple
 s each time an architect’s work and his/her own main cultural reference 
 in the architectural production of the past\, starting from the basic assu
 mption that architecture is not so much about inventions but more about in
 tentions. The architect and his/her obsession compose a “double portrait
 ”\, a “difficult double”\, which should provide a deeper comprehensi
 on of both the architect’s and the double’s oeuvre. The culture of arc
 hitecture is based on misunderstandings and tweaked stories. Bad reading\,
  simplification and superficial interpretation of something far away\, bot
 h in space and time\, has been an engine of many of the avant-gardes of th
 e recent past. The totality of these micro stories will inevitably create 
 an alternative history\, an accumulated set of cultural knowledge.
