Architecture and Design Programme | 2023-24 Public Lectures
Man-Machine Made
The Department of Architecture and Design (DAD) of USJ announces its series of public lectures for the academic year 2023-24, inviting students, architects, designers and other curious viewers from around the world to join the school’s dialogue. The lecture series will stage public conversations with speakers from across the architecture and design disciplines with the theme “Man-Machine Made”, a collaborative endeavour of technologic and analogue processes of making.
We will explore the modus operandi of designers and researchers that gravitate on the boundaries of architecture, design and public arts, seeking alternative for interaction with the city. We will highlight DAD’s commitment to experimental work at the edge of the discipline with a range of Macau’s and international contemporary practices to outline propositions for alternative forms of design.
About the Talk
Filipa Frois Almeida will explore the intersection between architectural design, photography, arts, and fabrication processes with the topic “Fiction and Fabrication.” This presentation unravels the symbiotic relationship between fiction and fabrication in the context of architectural design. Almeida’s expertise as an architect and photographer will guide the audience through an array of projects, showcasing how the fusion of narrative-driven concepts and innovative fabrication techniques can redefine the boundaries of architectural expression.
