WITH
KATARINA ANDJELKOVIC
March 9, 2022 | 15h00 - 16h30 | (Wednesday) - Library Auditorium, FAUP - Zoom Video Conference | Open Class
The Conference - Open Class “Thinking in Conversation” with Katarina Andjelkovic will take place in the Auditorium of the Library of FAUP on the 9 of March, at 16:30, following the set of prior sessions of the Cycle of Conferences and Debates Architecture, Art and Image (AAI), with the moderation of Pedro Leão Neto and open to the whole academic community of U. Porto, with a special focus for the students of the Photography of Architecture, City and Territory (FACT) curricular units of the 2nd Cycle and Computer Aided Architectural Design Communication and Photography (CAAD I and II) of the 1st Cycle of FAUP.
Katarina Andjelkovic is a theorist, practicing architect, researcher, and painter, who will be presenting “The role of modernity and photography in the critical and transformative potential of the everyday urban space.” The history of architectural representation testifies that modern media of photography, film, and TV are a relevant component of its historical evolution. This lecture aims to deconstruct and reconstruct discourses that understand architecture as mediated by media, but also illuminates the systems of representation with the aim to revise the history of the reproduction of reality through a photographic image. Starting with the camera as a model of a faithful reproduction of reality and the possibility to represent this reality in our collective cinematic imagination, Katarina will discuss what happens in reverse: how has the photographic image redesigned architecture, at least the way we think of architecture.
The event (online), is open to students, teachers and researchers from U.Porto and other authors from other institutions or independent.
