get involved III – bridge the gap

International Symposium of architectural & built environment education for young people
21^st to 22^nd of October 2016 Biennale Architettura 2016 15th International Architecture Exhibition

On behalf of BINK – the Austrian initiative for built environment education for young people – we have successfully established a regular discussion on architectural and built environment education for young people over the past few years. The success and further advancement of this discipline, in Austria as well as internationally, is also the result of our presence at the Architecture Biennale in Venice.

In line with “get involved I & II” in 2012 and 2014 “get involved III” will continue this successful series and with this assignment we expect to reach a very broad audience, from young people to architects, engineers and pedagogues, while keeping in line with the overall topic of this year’s architecture Biennale, “Reporting from the front”.

Further topics of the INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM “get involved III” will be current questions concerning extracurricular learning opportunities in the context of architectural and built environment education. Lectures, workshops and communal events will help to build bridges between people in various ways.
On different scales diverse approaches on how and why living space can turn into learning space will be presented while taking into account the positive influence of free creative space, the public sphere and the current socio-political topic of migration and refuge.

Symposiumprogram

Friday, 21. October 2016
3 pm Lecture „MIGRATORY LANDSCAPES”
Landscape architect Martin Rein-Cano
As modern human migration patterns intensify, landscapes of habitation and their associated communities are in constant transition, evolution and reinvention. As the meeting ground of this modern nascent culture, public space has the potential to be the essential connective tissue within this massive migratory landscape.
This lecture traces the history of identity and foreignness in gardens and demonstrates the contemporary appropriation and reinterpretation of garden inspired tactics through the TOPOTEK 1 project Superkilen in Copenhagen, Denmark. www.topotek1.de

4 – 5.30 pm Discussion forum
Presentation of three current projects, which show different approaches to how public space can stand for informal education and how it can influence learning space.
