Buildings carry stories and values, but often these are stories of exclusion. How do we engage with historic architecture that is not only physically inaccessible but also represents and reproduces an aesthetic of ableism? What if we approached architecture by seeing disabled bodies and experiences not as problems to fix, but as starting points for design?
On Thursday, 30 September, PAF and Büro Juliane Greb invite you to an evening exploring disability as a critical lens and a creative force in architecture. Joining the conversation are Negin Eisazadeh (KU Leuven & ULiège), Sam Michiels (Accessibility Advisory Council of the City of Leuven), and Inge Vinck (architecten Jan de Vylder Inge Vinck).
This conversation is a collaboration between Büro Juliane Gre, PAF (platform voor architectuur & feminisme), the Flanders Architecture Institute (VAi), and Team Vlaams Bouwmeester. Together with the speakers and the audience, we will discuss how to place care, accessibility, and collective experience at the centre, moving beyond checklists and regulations.
Participants: Dr. Ariane Krause (Leibniz Institute of Vegetable and
Ornamental Crops), Michel Riechmann (EAWAG), Ludovico Centis (The Empire), Eleftheria Xenikakis (Kollektiv für Angepasste Technik)
Organized in partnership with SUMMACUMFEMMER
Our concept “Open for Maintenance / Wegen Umbau geöffnet” was selected by the expert commission chaired by Peter Cachola Schmal, Director of Deutsches Architekturmuseum. The commissioner of the contribution is the Federal Ministry of Housing, Urban Development and Construction. “Open for Maintenance / Wegen Umbau geöffnet” aims to demonstrate the opportunities and potentials of the upcoming tasks for sustainable, social and inclusive architecture and urban design by means of concrete examples – and thus translate the Biennale motto “The Laboratory of the Future” by Lesley Lokko, curator of the 18th Architecture Biennale, into practice. Topics such as repair, maintenance and care as well as new alliances and forms of solidarity in architectural practice are at the center of the German contribution.
