Gabu Heindl : Ethics of Planning
We cordially invite you to the lecture "Ethics of Planning" by Austrian architect Gabu Heindl, which will take place on Tuesday, October 2, 2018, at 5:00 PM at the Architecture Gallery, Starobrněnská 18, Brno. The lecture is part of the accompanying program for the exhibition "Dear Architects…— Ethics of Architecture" and is organized as part of the Architecture Day festival. The event will be conducted in English.
How to address dilemmas in architecture and what are its ethical questions? Is critical planning possible? What can architecture (do)? For whom are urban planners? – A presentation based on Viennese examples of housing and spatial planning policies.
Gabu Heindl will present a chapter on the ethics of political planning from her upcoming book on radically democratic spatial planning. She has been engaged with this topic in her practice and research for a long time. Her architectural projects are characterized within the urban cultural environment of film, art, or music, but also include kindergartens, schools, and social housing. She does not perceive architecture as merely a service but rather as an analytical formation of the environment, which relates to her self-initiated research projects, lectures, and texts, as well as productive discussions, whether informal, public, or in academic settings.
In her practice, she adheres to basic ethical guidelines: she designs public buildings and cultural, educational, or infrastructural facilities, rejects designing chauvinistic, racist, or discriminatory architecture, family homes in the suburbs, or speculative construction.
Gabu Heindl is a Viennese architect, urban planner, and researcher. She leads the studio GABU Heindl architecture, which specializes in public interventions, cultural and social buildings, urban planning, and urban research. She is the curator of several exhibitions and organizes lectures and symposia on political architecture and spatial planning. She is a visiting professor at the Sheffield School of Architecture and teaches at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. She studied architecture and urban planning in Vienna, Tokyo, and Princeton. Gabu Heindl is the author of numerous texts in magazines (e.g., in JAE, Umbau, GAM, dérive, ERA21) and books (Arbeit Zeit Raum: Bilder und Bauten der Arbeit im Postfordismus, position alltag – Architecture in the Context of Everyday Life). From 2013 to 2017, she chaired the Austrian Society for Architecture (ÖGFA).
