AIA Middle East - For a Novel Architecture
When: Saturday 21 July 2021 @ 11:00 (Eastern US Time)/ 18:00 (Beirut time)/ 19:00 (UAE time)
Speaker: Karim Nader
Description
AIA ME Lebanon, cordially invites you to attend a webinar by Architect Karim Nader, founder of Karim Nader Studio and author of “For a Novel Architecture, ciné-roman 2000-2020.”
Three fundamental themes are elaborated in his book; “Home upon nature”, or the problem of being at home and architecture as shelter, “Reprise [Beirut]”, or the problem of building on ruins, both in urban and rural contexts, and “Cinematic Architecture”, or the quality of the architectural experience as lived in movement and in time and space.
The work of Karim Nader tends to reflect on historical and urban questions in cities facing disaster, in particular Beirut. It also exposes contemporary architecture and connects philosophy to the practice.
