Re-thinking Energy: World Leading Artists, Architects and Scientists Come Together to Develop New Thinking About Energy Collateral Event 12th International Architecture Exhibition, Venice.
The AA School Beyond Entropy Symposium is FREE to all and takes place on 27 August from 13:00 – 00:00hrs at Fondazione Giorgio Cini. Over 30 world leading figures from the arts, science, architecture, politics and philosophy will share ideas in a dynamic, fast paced and exciting event of thought and debate spanning all forms of expression in search of a new paradigm for energy. Speakers include Brett Steele, Director of AA School; Carlo Carraro, President of the University of Venice; Hans Ulrich Obrist, Co-Director, Serpentine Art Gallery, London; Gianfranco Bettin, Regional Councillor, City of Venice; Angelo Merlino, Mechanical Engineer, Large Hadron Collider, CERN; Nur Puri Purini, Energy and Commodities Specialist, Intesa Sanpaolo; Giovanni Anceschi, Professor of Industrial Design, Luav and many others.
Stefano Rabolli Pansera, Director, Beyond Entropy, AA School, says: “Energy in architecture is normally considered as either an exclusively technical issue or something relating to the sustainability debate. While both these are important they are reductive – architects seeking to solve specific energy related problems. This project sets out to create a new paradigm for talking about energy, which can be used to stimulate and frame new forms of understanding. This project places architects at the heart of the enquiry, stimulating the relationship between the scientists and artists to create a new horizon for how we think about energy and its relationship with space.”
