The crisis condition

In this year’s “Bankruptcy of Architecture”, the workshop will investigate the local conditions as a particular moment of a financial crisis. Can the crisis determine some strategies for architecture? The particular Greek moment takes an emblematic form: a positive, constructive look to this bankrupted world we built is needed. At the contrary some very strong concepts need to be redefined, such the concept of “nature” or the “politics of reuse”. Some changes of the value systems have to be taken under consideration for the function of a workshop that always related art to architecture through theoretical investigation.
