Architecture returns to POP
Bartoli, Didelon, Gadanho, Markov, Rambow u.a.
WHAT IS POP, WHERE DID IT COME FROM AND WHAT DOES POP MEAN TODAY? WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN POP AND ARCHITECTURE?
AND WHAT DOES CONTEMPORARY POP ARCHITECTURE LOOK LIKE? AND: WHERE IS POP HEADED, ANYWAY…?
POP is a cultural phenomenon long associated with music and art but which is now more than ever fi nding relevance in the worlds of architecture and urban theory. Many of today‘s architects aspire to or are becoming POP stars, producing materials and designs which are mass-consumed in ever faster cycles of hyper-mediatisation, in which buildings and whole urban conglomerations operate as backdrops, setting the stage for products or serving directly as icons for individual institutions or even whole cities. The ARCHITECTURE reTURNS to POP symposium establishes a temporary and public platform at the TU/Berlin, dedicated to discussing POP and its relationship to architecture on a horizontal plateau inhabited by architects, international critics and students, all united by a common POP passion. As a public event, ADIP’s 2007 symposium seeks to create a two-day, hybrid platform: part workshop, part open lectures, and part final critiques for student projects, it features a distinguished panel of international guest critics. The project will close with an open, round-table discussion which seeks to understand POP architecture and its current tendencies with an eye towards what role it might play in all of our futures…
