DESCRIPTION:Marvin Trachtenberg\, Luc Baboulet & Sébastien Marot\nArchit
 ecture & Environnement\n\nBuilding-In-Time : From Giotto to Alberti and Mo
 dern Oblivion\nMarvin Trachtenberg\, in conversation with Luc Baboulet and
  Sébastien Marot\n\nIn his latest book\, art historian Marvin Trachtenber
 g sets out to recover the characteristics of a way of building that\, for 
 centuries\, dominated the creation of monumental architecture. In pre-mode
 rn Europe\, the architect built not only with imagination\, bricks\, and m
 ortar\, but also with time\, according to methods that mobilized a sophist
 icated set of norms and practices that the author calls “Building-in-Tim
 e\,” and whose careful study sheds a new light on the major works of the
  early Italian Renaissance. Today\, not only has this practice disappeared
 \, but the very awareness of its existence is consigned to oblivion. Indee
 d\, even as ‘Building-in-Time’ was flourishing\, the fifteenth-century
  Italian architect Leon Battista Alberti proposed a new temporal regime wh
 ereby time would ideally be excluded from the making of architecture (‘B
 uilding-outside-Time’). Planning and building\, which had formed one flu
 id\, imbricated process\, were to be sharply divided\, and change excluded
 . By telling this story\, by distinguishing these two regimes of temporali
 ty and\, more radically\, by reintroducing the time factor into the heart 
 of practices and theories\, Marvin Trachtenberg allows us to apprehend in 
 a new way not only the Italian Renaissance and the origins of our modernit
 y but also\, potentially\, the present and the future of architecture: tem
 porality is not a neutral or secondary factor in the culture of modern arc
 hitecture\, but an epistemic condition that silently affects all productio
 n and experience of the built environment.\n\nArchizoom supports this seme
 ster the reflections developed in the History and Theory of the Environme
 nt course given in Bachelor 1 at the EPFL by Sébastien Marot. A course t
 hat invites us to understand to what extent environmental concerns today l
 ead us to rethink the meaning and principles of architecture and other pro
 ject based disciplines. This series of lectures aims to explore how archit
 ects and urban planners can understand environmental concerns today\, and 
 how they can stimulate our imagination and our responsibilities.\n\nProgra
 mme produced in collaboration with Sebastien Marot and Raphael Bach.
