Architectures of Land and Learning: Public Event at Hospitalfield 16.07.26
Join the Architecture Fringe during Earth Station, our inaugural International Summer School, for an evening rooted in land and learning, reconnection, repair and stewardship.
Architectures of Land and Learning - with Dr Mairi McFadyen, Sara Almodovar Pereira, and Hannah Lu and Garance Maurer from Floating [University] Berlin - is an exciting talk and panel discussion, and is free and open to the public. This is an opportunity to join the Summer School cohort, and hear these fascinating speakers talk about their work in relation to land, experiments in radical learning and collective action, and the types of environments and thinking architecture can engage with to address both a rapidly-changing climate and challenging political landscapes.
Over the course of three keynote contributions and a panel discussion, we’ll trace commonalities, contrasts and dialogues between tributaries of culturally-and-politically-charged practice that draw on examples of radical practice from Scotland and Europe.
Join us on Thursday 16th July, from 7.15pm at Hospitalfield, Arbroath, Angus, Scotland, DD11 2NH
Tickets for this event are free but at booking you can choose to leave a donation to support the work of the Architecture Fringe.
A key aim of our first Summer School has been to try and open this experience up to those who might otherwise not be able to take part, for financial reasons or through other barriers to access. Through our multi-year funding support from Creative Scotland, we have been able to keep costs for all participants as low as possible, and in addition provide eight fully supported places, free to participants.
Four of these supported places were made possible thanks to the generous support of the Scottish Ecological Design Association, the V&A Dundee, the Edinburgh Architectural Association and the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland - whose scholarship place is named in honour of James Robertson Laidlaw, a Past President of the Incorporation, whose bequest funded the place.
