“Beyond Buildings: Reliving Architecture” presented by Aaron Betsky
Thurs., Sept. 10 at 7 p.m. ONLINE
According to Aaron Betsky, Director of the School of Architecture and Design at Virginia Tech, previously the President of the School of Architecture at Taliesin, we do not need any more buildings. We need to reimagine, reuse, and relive the structures we already have. Architecture should not be a question of building but of questioning, opening up, and of unbuilding. There is an environmental reason for this: we cannot afford to waste non-renewable resources and land to create new buildings. We also have to realize that what makes us at home in the modern world is no longer just the making of structures that imprison us, but those images, forms, and spaces that let us play active and critical roles in our society. This lecture will show some recent attempts to make sense of our modern world.
