Earth Station Talks: Architectures of Land and Learning

Join the Architecture Fringe during Earth Station, our inaugural International Summer School, for an evening rooted in land and learning, reconnection, repair and stewardship.

Architectures of Land and Learning - with Dr Mairi McFadyen, Sara Almodovar Pereira, and Hannah Lu and Garance Maurer from Floating [University] Berlin - is an exciting talk and panel discussion, and is free and open to the public. This is an opportunity to join the Summer School cohort, and hear these fascinating speakers talk about their work in relation to land, experiments in radical learning and collective action, and the types of environments and thinking architecture can engage with to address both a rapidly-changing climate and challenging political landscapes.

Over the course of three keynote contributions and a panel discussion, we’ll trace commonalities, contrasts and dialogues between tributaries of culturally-and-politically-charged practice that draw on examples of radical practice from Scotland and Europe.

Tickets for this event are free but at booking you can choose to leave a donation to support the work of the Architecture Fringe.
