DESCRIPTION:Mark Lee\nDifficult Double is primarily a series of lectures\,
  which aims to offer to EPFL a portrait of the contemporary panorama of cu
 lturally involved practices around the world. The format\, echoing the Ven
 turian idea of architecture as a “difficult whole”\, couples each time
  an architect’s work and his/her own main cultural reference in the arch
 itectural production of the past\, starting from the basic assumption that
  architecture is not so much about inventions but more about intentions. T
 he architect and his/her obsession compose a “double portrait”\, a “
 difficult double”\, which should provide a deeper comprehension of both 
 the architect’s and the double’s oeuvre. The culture of architecture i
 s based on misunderstandings and tweaked stories. Bad reading\, simplifica
 tion and superficial interpretation of something far away\, both in space 
 and time\, has been an engine of many of the avant-gardes of the recent pa
 st. The totality of these micro stories will inevitably create an alternat
 ive history\, an accumulated set of cultural knowledge.
