The first International Arakawa and Gins Conference organized by the Théorie de la lecture / Lecture de la théorie seminar, as part of the CREA research group, devoted to Architectural Body.
ARAKAWA & GINS ARCHITECTURE AND PHILOSOPHY CONFERENCE
September 30th – October 1st, 2005
University of Paris X-Nanterre
Key organisers: Françoise Kral, Jean Jacques Lecercle
“It is increasingly clear that the work of Madeline Gins and Arakawa, both as architectural theorists and as philosophers of the body in its architectural surrounds is of considerable importance. The journal Interfaces has devoted a double issue to their work. Their latest book, Architectural Body, has been translated into several languages, including French.”
The Théorie de la lecture/ Lecture de la théorie seminar organized an international meeting devoted to Architectural Body where the philosophical, architectural and poetic aspects of the book are envisaged. The importance of the philosophical project that underlies it are celebrated, with the aim to enable all scholars interested in the work of Gins and Arakawa to gather and exchange views.
More information on the conference and the journal publication Interfaces coming soon…
