DESCRIPTION:Dr Véronique Patteeuw\n09:00 – 09:45 – Prof. Véronique P
 atteeuw\nAssociate professor (Maitre de conférence) at ENSAP Lille\, Fran
 ce\, Academic editor OASE Journal for Architecture\n\nTalk title:\nWhen At
 titudes Become Positions\n\nAbstract:\nIn the spring of 1969\, Harald Szee
 mann curated one of the most compelling exhibitions of the twentieth centu
 ry. When Attitudes Become Form brought together sixty-nine European and Am
 erican artists advocating for work that would not be primary concerned wit
 h pictorial form\, but grounded in an inner attitude. Half a century later
 \, Szeemann’s mindset echoes with a series of practices in the field of 
 architecture\, shifting from artistic attitudes towards outspoken architec
 tural positions. What is defended by these practitioners\, what are the co
 nversations they engage in and the methods they employ? This lecture explo
 res the work of a number of contemporary Belgium-based practices. Challeng
 ed by novel narratives for the city and driven by a renewed engagement wit
 h the discipline\, these practitioners leave references to high modernism 
 behind\, and defend positions in between the global and the local. However
 \, they do not avoid architecture. On the contrary. They elaborate project
 s in which context\, climate and materiality are topical elements while ex
 plicitly reengaging with the act of building. If one could claim that thes
 e positions are highly contemporary\, they are not new. On the contrary\, 
 they reread\, revisit and redefine – often unconsciously – some of the
  most challenging voices of late twentieth century architecture theory. Co
 nsidering theory in its dynamic relation to education and practice\, and v
 aluing theory as a creative tool for design\, this lecture seeks to establ
 ish dialogues between the conversations of then and the projects of now an
 d intends to illustrate the propelling character of post-war architecture 
 theory in the light of our current age of acceleration.\n\nShort bio:\nDr.
