Kunstakademiets Arkitektskole inviterer til åben forelæsning med Léopold Lambert. Forelæsningen er del af forelæsningsrækken: "International Lectures Series", hvor Arkitektskolen inviterer store internationale navne indenfor til en eftermiddag med fokus på væsentlige internationale temaer i arkitekturen.
Om forelæsningen
Architecture did not invent racism; yet, in many historical and contemporary instances, structural racism could not perpetuate without the active participation of architecture.
The lecture will construct a dialogue between a general theory of architecture understood as political weapon and an examination of several examples of its participation to racist politics in Palestine, the United States, the French banlieues (suburbs), but also at the walls of Fortress Europe from Calais to Bregana.
