KurzbeschreibungHistory plays a role when it tells us a story about the future, but not if we use it as a framework to confirm those who already occupy the positions of power. We must make the present the trigger of another future, using history as a guide. Together we will find models from the past which work in the future. What are the real stories behind them? How do we fix these ideas? How can we update them?
LernzielArchitecture is always thought and communicated through models and drawings. Still, it is more than an object. It is defined by content and context, both time-based elements. Starting from this point, the question becomes — how can time-based media, such as video and television, bring both spatial and temporal dimension of architecture into a discussion? Storytelling allows for an argument to be made, and for an architect(ure) to occupy a political position.

Therefore, television as a technology de-centers the view from the object, and challenges our usual way of thinking of architecture. Could we use television as our tool to communicate and design architecture?
InhaltIn the late 1960s and early 1970s, design had its peak as a political and transformative tool. The Montreal Expo from 1967 presented ambitious projects such as Buckminster Fuller’s geodesic dome, Frei Otto's cable net structure, Moshe Safdie’s Habitat, and Gorazd Čelechovský’s Etarea. Visions between political emancipation and cybernetic control. Option that never became models.

335.000 people attended the opening ceremonies and celebrated together, with a space age-style countdown, the “Man and His World”. It was broadcasted live to more than 500 million people worldwide, who became part of the theme and the question, how they / we want(ed) to live together. People were full of hope.

The main players kept on designing, building and inventing until the late 1970s. Many of their ideas still seem relevant today, some were never realized, some didn’t make it into serial production, most are forgotten. The Reagan and Thatcher years made us loners, competitors, and dystopians.

However, what was possible then should be even more possible now!
Do we really believe that? Or do we expect great cultural shifts only from the entrepreneurial CEOs in Silicon Valley and elsewhere?

„When you give everyone a voice and give people power, the system usually ends up in a really good place,” declared Mark Zuckerberg in the early days of Facebook. We know how it went.

History plays a role when it tells us a story about the future, but not if we use it as a framework to confirm those who already occupy the positions of power. We must make the present the trigger of another future, using history as a guide. Together we will find models from the past which work in the future. What are the real stories behind them? How do we fix these ideas? How can we update them? How can they go into serial production?
