Visiting Editors #7 : Expanded Design

On Monday November 12, 2018 at 7:00 PM, the VI PER Gallery will host the seventh lecture in the series Visiting Editors about how we will live and how it relates to what we will do.

ANDREAS RUMPFHUBER: WORKING CHARMS. ABOUT THE CITY AFTER THE END OF WORK

Architect Andreas Rumpfhuber's lecture will revolve around the changes in work models in Western industrialized countries in the 1950s and 1960s, their consequences for the production of architecture and our cities, and how they continue to influence our subjective view of the world. History, as he presents it, is closely linked to the use and expansion of cybernetic logic. He will mention the discovery of the "office landscape creation," the Mobile Office project by Hans Hollein, and other post-war manifestations of activism related to the concept of immaterial work and how all this relates to our conception of living.

Andreas Rumpfhuber is an architect and architecture theorist living in Vienna. He runs the Expanded Design office, is the author or co-author of the books Architektur immaterieller Arbeit (Vienna, 2013), The Design of Scarcity (Moscow, 2014), Modelling Vienna: Real Fictions in Social Housing (Vienna, 2014), Wunschmaschine Wohnanlage (Vienna, 2016), and Into the Great Wide Open (Barcelona, 2017). He has been a visiting educator in spatial strategy and design at the Muthesius Academy of Fine Arts in Kiel, the State Academy of Art in Stuttgart, and at the Technical University of Vienna, where he leads studio teaching in urbanism.

The public educational program Visiting Editors is a project of the platform Fake Cities True Stories in collaboration with the VI PER Gallery in Prague and the cultural space PRAHA Forum for Architecture and Media in Brno.
