A question of time. In search of temporal strategies for an architecture of transition
The symposium “A question of time. In search of temporal strategies for an architecture of transition” will be held at the Cité de l'architecture et du patrimoine in Paris on September 26 and 27, 2024.
Abstract :
In architecture, space occupies a central place; sometimes to the detriment of time, which is too often neglected, even though it is a key factor for thinking about ecological, social and economic transition. Given the urgency of climate change, this symposium puts the question of time at the heart of the debate, as an essential element of architectural, urban, and territorial projects. Reconsidering our discipline through the factor of time will enable us to reconsider architecture in relation to the temporal dynamics in which it is embedded, offering an indispensable condition for modifying its circumstances and mechanisms.
