Back to School with... Paulien Bremmer - session #1

The first in a series of three evenings about 'the other construction site' that explores alternatives for the existing extractive, masculine system driven by time and money, curated by architect Paulien Bremmer. With Mariana Moura, Katie Lloyd Thomas, Setareh Noorani and Alina Paias. Taking place on Tuesday 07 Oct. The Other Construction Site Back to School with… is a series of research-based lecture evenings, where we invite an inspiring guest to design and curate a program around a question or theme that is currently on their mind. For this edition, we’ve invited architect Paulien Bremmer to take us along her ongoing research project 'The Other Construction Site'. “There is no alternative,” was the political slogan of Margaret Thatcher, who argued that liberal capitalism is the only viable system. It fits the traditional construction site like a glove. The existing system - driven by time and money, extractive, and masculine - is seen as universal and justifies the way of working. But is this truly just? And does this way of working align with the urgent issues and transitions of our time? Shouldn't we focus on other values instead of primarily those of money? Can we move beyond a system that seems unshakable and believe in an alternative? Session #1 - the conventional construction site In this first evening of the series we will explore the conventional construction site together with Mariana Moura, Katie Lloyd Thomas, Setareh Noorani and Alina Paias. We will do so through the lens of the French-Brazilian Marxist architect, theorist, and painter Sergio Ferro, who emphasises the role of workers and the construction process over the final design. It also explores lesser known, alternative approaches, with special attention to women led construction projects from recent history.
