DESCRIPTION:Bijoy Jain\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 V
 enturian idea of architecture as a “difficult whole”\, couples each ti
 me an architect’s work and his/her own main cultural reference in the ar
 chitectural production of the past\, starting from the basic assumption th
 at architecture is not so much about inventions but more about intentions.
  The architect and his/her obsession compose a “double portrait”\, a 
 “difficult double”\, which should provide a deeper comprehension of bo
 th the architect’s and the double’s oeuvre. The culture of architectur
 e is based on misunderstandings and tweaked stories. Bad reading\, simplif
 ication and superficial interpretation of something far away\, both in spa
 ce and time\, has been an engine of many of the avant-gardes of the recent
  past. The totality of these micro stories will inevitably create an alter
 native history\, an accumulated set of cultural knowledge.
