Session 3

15:00: Matthew Claudel (US) will weave the narrative of open design, its failure, and its rebirth in the Choral Architect, based on his research at the MIT Sensea- ble City Laboratory and recent book, Open Source Architecture (co-authored with Carlo Ratti, published by Thames & Hudson, 2015).

16:00 to 16:30: break & drinks

16:30: Screening of Wendelien Van Oldenborgh’s (NL) latest film, followed by a discussion with the artist. The film ‘Beauty and the right to the ugly’ is a cinematic experiment set in Het Karregat in Eindhoven, a radical architectural and social experiment designed in 1972 by the Dutch architect Frank Van Klingeren (1919-1999). The building, which is the location as well as study- object for the film event, is a multifunctional community centre in a neighbour- hood of new housing designed for an alternative middle class in Eindhoven.

17:30: Release of UP (BE) issue 17 starring Zofia & Oskar Hansen’s summer house in Szumin, constructed from 1968 onwards and continuously altered unt Oskar Hansen’s departure in 2005. Koenraad Dedobbeleer and Kris Kimpe, initiators of UP-fanzine, will share their experience of visiting Hansen’s house in Poland.
