Camp for Oppositional Architecture
June 25
27, 2004
Gottschedstr. 4, 13357 Berlin, Germany

This international, open congress is searching for possibilities of resistance within the field of architecture and planning. How to criticize the demands of a capitalist production of space? How to take a non-affirmative part within this powerful contiguity?
Oppositional Social Engagement: How can we grasp and relate to contemporary social reality?
Oppositional Design Concepts: How can we imagine and design critical forms and architecture?
Oppositional Strategies of Interventions: How can we reflect on and intervene in the built environment?
