Talks and Q&A | Wednesday October 5 | starts 20.00h | English | 2,50 Euro
At De Verdieping with: Dennis Bos, Robert Grimm and Arnold Reijndorp
During the 5th edition of our series of talkshows and public discussions we will focus on the riots that recently took place in London and quickly spread to other cities in England, leaving several people killed, dozens of people injured and hundreds of buildings looted and burned. As Churchill famously intoned ‘We shape our buildings and then they shape us’. What is the relation between the material city and conflict? Have new urban forms produced new forms of violence? And what is the role of the architect and urban planner in this respect? Can they be blamed and/or can they provide a solution for this enduring problem?
