GSD Harvard inaugurates All that is Solid, Symposia on architecture

The Harvard University Graduate School of Design (GSD) will inaugurate the series of 4 symposia All that is Solid, to be held during 2014 and 2015. The first one, entitled Design Techniques, will take place this Thursday, October 30, at 06:30 pm (UTC/GMT-04:00). The contents of the symposia will be published in a+t magazine.

At a moment of dissolution in design, technique is all an architect can grasp. Techniques occupy a beautifully indeterminate void on the fault line between theory and practice. Spared of reductive allegiance to either, design techniques are uniquely powerful. A technique may disrupt, innovate, communicate, or surprise.  At the same time, techniques stand as silent markers of membership—opaque envelops delimiting communities of colleagues. This first of four symposia interrogates the motivations, instruments, influences, justifications, effects, and origins of contemporary design techniques. Ultimately technique is how novelty manifests itself in architecture, expanding and advancing the inner core of our discipline.
