Future Architecture Platform – The Publishing School
What do architectural education, the production of knowledge, the study of potential collaborations and the methods of transversal pedagogy within architectural education look like?
Answers to this question are offered by the programme of the 4th Future Architecture Platform – the first pan-European platform which brings together museum architecture, festivals and producers which work in the domain of architecture and whose goal is to bring ideas about the future of cities and architecture closer to the wider public.
What do architectural education, the production of knowledge, the study of potential collaborations and the methods of transversal pedagogy within architectural education look like? Answers to this question are offered by the programme of the 4th Future Architecture Platform – the first pan-European platform which brings together museum architecture, festivals and producers which work in the domain of architecture and whose goal is to bring ideas about the future of cities and architecture closer to the wider public. The programme of the Publishing School focuses on the further research of architectural education and the production of knowledge through three programmes: symposium, exhibition and publication.
The symposium focuses on the methods of radical pedagogy in architectural schools and examines the possibilities of de-schooling (moving away from traditional schooling) in areas from architectural design to political theory. The exhibition is organised with the support of the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art and brings together a set of already published publications, and speaks about the open sociopolitical narratives of Croatian towns on the coast, conveying their past, present and future, especially in the context of Rijeka 2020 – European Capital of Culture. The exhibition includes papers by participants of the Future Architecture Platform from the series Publishing-action I-II III, as well as a curated selection of international art on the theme of radical pedagogy. The publication, co-produced with the publishing house dpr-barcelona, is focused on architectural education and on publishing as a procedural instrument, enabling the creation of conceptual, as well as concrete, spaces of cooperation and the transfer of knowledge outside existing frameworks.
