Join us for the first event of Strategic Architecture, an evening school on how to challenge, democratize, and improve our political processes and collective decision-making through architecture. A conversation between Olaf Grawert and Deane Simpson. Olaf Grawert Co-founder of the policy laboratory HouseEurope!, and partner in the architecture studio b+. Deane Simpson Architect and Professor of Architecture, Urbanism and Planning at the Royal Danish Academy, School of Architecture, Copenhagen, where he leads the masters program Urbanism and Societal Change. About the evening schoolArchitecture has always been less a sovereign art than a gathering of itinerant techniques: the survey drafted for empire, the map drawn for taxation, the diagram lifted from cosmology, the projection honed in the painter’s studio, assembled for a time in the service of building.Yet, in the past decade, these instruments have begun to drift once more, resurfacing as evidentiary devices in courts and media (forensic architecture), as diagrammatic engines in ministries and agencies (strategic architecture), and as speculative projections in galleries and laboratories (speculative architecture), no longer tethered to construction but redirected toward truth, action and imagination. From August onwards CAFx’ evening school follows that migration in its strategic inflection, asking what becomes of architecture when the diagram ceases to prefigure form and instead structures deliberation, negotiates trade-offs, and scripts the conditions under which collective decisions are made.
