SCHOOL LECTURE SERIES – AUTUMN 2025
COMMUNITY VOL.1
Introducing the third edition of the School Lecture Series, this Autumn 2025, we invite seven practitioners to open a discussion around the topic of Community, through exemplary projects and case studies.
Community is an ambivalent concept. It involves both gathering through shared customs and exclusion. Some claim that inclusive communities do not exist. Recent history shows people more often unite through exclusion than inclusion. However, communities are not sealed. Philosopher Roberto Esposito explains that community 'is not a property or territory to defend but a void, a debt, and a gift to others, reminding us of our otherness.
This lecture series explores the topic of community through architecture. How does architecture explore, define, or enable communities? Can architects collaborate directly with communities, bypassing institutional entities? How can design convey a collective experience? Seven emerging and established architectural figures respond to these questions through their work, which spans film, exhibitions, and communitarian buildings.
Save the dates and join us on Tuesday evenings!
