Description: The seminar aims to conceptualize and project on the idea of architectural world-making, i.e. constructing alternative worlds through architecture. During the last two decades, architectural world-making has mostly been speculated as a social (participation) or a systemic (infrastructure) phenomenon, judged on the basis of its inclusiveness and performance within larger contingencies. On the other hand, the question of disciplinary specificity has by and large been limited to self-referntial attributes of exclusive singularity. As part of outlining new directions in relation to these questions, the seminar will specualate and project on an alternative framework of architectural world-making, which both aims multiplicity and singularity while projecting unconventional associations between the two. Through focusing on a particular lineage of architectural ideas, projects and texts, the seminar aims to instigate further interplay between critical thinking and speculative work for future architectures.
