Material Acts: Session 2 – Speculative Organising

Join us for a facilitated Dialogue between Field Studio, Ahha, and Groupwork, about the tools, tactics, and strategies of practicing differently in Aotearoa.

This event is part of Material Acts: a two-day event that offers the opportunity for architecture practitioners, students and enthusiasts to join workshops and discussions with those working in material innovation, presented by The AUT Material Cultures Lab.

This event sits within the theme of Speculative Organising which considers how we might re-imagine documents and relational systems like contracts, laws, rituals and manifestoes that mediate our relationships with material realities.

These documents and relational systems are active participants shaping much of our work, life and creative practices, but are often overlooked in theoretical conversation about design and architecture despite their outsized impact on our shared environments.

To explore this further, Field Studio of Architecture + Urbanism from Ōtautahi, Ahha, and Groupwork from Tāmaki Makaurau, will discuss alternative ways of imagining the future and getting things done, from the stealthy to the subversive, to the pragmatic realities of practicing differently.

Hospitality will be provided.

Other Material Acts event sessions are listed on our website and are free and open to all.
