We are pleased to invite you all to the guest lecture of Prof. Kathy Velikov and Prof. Geoffrey Thün from Taubman College of Architecture & Urban Planning, University of Michigan, USA.

Their Lecture

Responsive Envelopes: Paradigms and Potentials

Will take place on

Thursday, 6th of March 2025 at 6pm in the ILEK tent.

A brief summary of the lecture:

Velikov and Thün will draw from speculative projects developed by their research group RVTR, and innovative precedents from practice to articulate new frameworks through which we might imagine the future of responsive façade design. From dynamic shading systems and multifunctional component assemblies to hyper-local design techniques this talk will challenge participants to engage in the search for new approaches to envelope design that might be responsive, adaptive and co-evolve with their surrounding environments and human interactions.

After the lecture, we invite you to join us for a small get-together. There will be snacks and drinks while you have the opportunity to talk and socialise with all the participants. This will be a wonderful opportunity to share ideas about the topic and make new connections.
