DESCRIPTION:Konstantinos Pantazis and Marianna Rentzou\nDifficult Double 
 is primarily a series of lectures\, which aims to offer to EPFL a portrait
  of the contemporary panorama of culturally involved practices around the 
 world. The format\, echoing the Venturian idea of architecture as a “dif
 ficult whole”\, couples each time an architect’s work and his/her own 
 main cultural reference in the architectural production of the past\, star
 ting from the basic assumption that architecture is not so much about inve
 ntions but more about intentions. The architect and his/her obsession comp
 ose a “double portrait”\, a “difficult double”\, which should prov
 ide a deeper comprehension of both the architect’s and the double’s oe
 uvre. The culture of architecture is based on misunderstandings and tweake
 d stories. Bad reading\, simplification and superficial interpretation of 
 something far away\, both in space and time\, has been an engine of many o
 f the avant-gardes of the recent past. The totality of these micro stories
  will inevitably create an alternative history\, an accumulated set of cul
 tural knowledge.
