Abstract
"Sessions on Territory" are public debates on the political economy of architecture and territory within and beyond the neoliberal order.
Objective
"Sessions on Territory" is a series of public debates on the political economy of architecture and territory. Focus on the materials of architecture and urbanism — from territories of resource extraction to the construction site — the upcoming series unravel contemporary forces at work in the formation of the built and natural environment. Through a series of debates with invited guests, the seminar aims to critically reflect on the materiality of contemporary urbanism. Every intervention by a guest speaker is followed by a panel discussion with invited respondents.
