UMN Spring 2022 Lecture Series — "Architectures of openness" by Hütten & Paläste

"Architectures of openness – strategies of transformation" Hütten & Paläste Nanni Grau & Frank Schönert, Co-Founders This lecture is part of the University of Minnesota School of Architecture Spring 2022 Lecture Series, centered on the theme "existing to remain." Scattered in the notes of most construction plans, “existing to remain” denotes portions of a site or structure that both precede and proceed. As an annotative convention, the phrase codifies how spatial practitioners incorporate existing fabrics — and their accompanying histories and contemporary potentials — into reframed and altered configurations. While the prevailing design imaginary still privileges ground-up construction, practices that validate, activate, and recompose what is already here can perhaps engage more directly in the conflicts of spatial injustice and environmental change. Bringing together critical approaches to surveying, retrofitting, and circularity, the lectures reinforce calls to reorient architectural design’s temporal, scalar, and political range to that which endures. The series is organized by Gabriel Cuéllar, Professor-in-Practice, Cadaster (www.cadaster.us)
