Professor Stamatis Zografos (U. Suffolk, UCL Bartlett School of Architecture, UK) will give the lecture Architecture and Fire: on London’s Skyline at Room G2.2 on the 31st October, 4 PM.
The lecture will focus on two case studies. Through the first case study I will explain how buildings and the city remember, and specifically how they remember fire. Through the second case study I will demonstrate that the break with the past that Modernism aspired to can also be seen in the historically intimate relationship between architecture and fire.
Dr. Stamatis Zografos is a practicing architect and academic. He is a Lecturer in Architecture at University of Suffolk and a Teaching Fellow in Architectural History and Theory at UCL Bartlett School of Architecture. He is also the founder of Incandescent Square, an interdisciplinary platform for research and design with interests spanning from architecture and urbanism to critical heritage and curating. His research is interdisciplinary, focusing on the fields of architecture / conservation, psychoanalysis, memory and fire.
Para Além do Zero e do Um is the collective exhibition at MUTE Gallery where the Professor’s works can be seen till the 15th June – our congratulations!
DAU Professors Maria Rita Pais and Luís Santiago Baptista are the curators of Open House Lisboa 2018, an event organized by Lisboa Triennale of Architectura and EGEAC, taking place this year on 22-23 September.
Open House is an international event which Lisbon joined in 2012 and which takes place in over 35 cities in the whole world.
Open House’s aim is to make known and celebrate the city of Lisbon’s architecture, and, quoting its curators:”we are motivated by the possibility of understanding Lisbon in a large urban scale, through projects, buildings and specific interventions, proposing a reading of the city’s recent transformations, in its several areas and structural axis.
And, finally, through that mapping, highlight the crucial role of architects in the construction of the past, present and future of Lisbon”.
Our congratulations to both Professors on this initiative!
