About this Event
This workshop will consider changing architecture and changing the future by reimagining the standards that determine it.
Nick Sargent and Tessa Forde will lead a practical discussion considering how redesigning the ways that we get things done is itself a form of speculative design, one that has potential to generate a wider diversity of outcomes.
The workshop will experiment with Standards – a type of document that choreographs spatial design processes and outcomes – and, using tools drawn from speculative fiction and generative planning, collaboratively generate texts intended to guide or provoke alternative ways of thinking about how we design cities.
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.
Hospitality will be provided.
Other Material Acts event sessions are listed on our website and are free and open to all.
