Fondation Thalie and the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs, Paris join forces for the 3rd season of the series Creators facing climate emergency and invite Claudia Pasquero, co-founder of the innovative design lab ecoLogicStudio, and Nathalie Blanc, director of the Earth Politics Centre, to address the topic of the post-human city.
How can today’s waste and pollution become a solution to feed and sustain humanity? In what ways can organic and artificial intelligence influence post-anthropocentric architecture? And how can we define the new aesthetics of a post-human world?
Based on a curatorial proposal by Fondation Thalie, this third season hosted at the École des Arts Décoratifs is organised by Stefano Vendramin, coordinator of the programme Creators facing the climate emergency, in co-construction with Francesca Cozzolino, teacher in human and social sciences, and Patrick Laffont-DeLojo, teacher in stage design at the École des Arts Décoratifs.
Speakers
Claudia Pasquero is an architect, curator and author operating at the intersection of biology, computation and design. She co-founded with Marco Poletto ecoLogicStudio, an architectural and urban design studio which has built up an international reputation for its innovative work on ‘systemic’ design. The London-based studio aims at shaping a definition of a new ecology of space and behavior combining systemic thinking, computational design, bio-hacking and digital prototyping.
EcoLogicStudio's projects have been exhibited internationally, including at the Centre Pompidou, Paris, Design Museum, London, Venice Architecture Biennale, Mori Museum in Tokyo, ZKM Karlsruhe, Saudi Art Biennale in Riyadh, COP26 in Glasgow.
Claudia Pasquero also curated the 2017 Tallinn Architecture Biennale, and co-edited the publication Systemic Architecture - Operating manual for the self-organizing city (Routledge editions, 2012). The forthcoming publication DeepGreen, bio-design in the age of artificial intelligence, will result from the collaboration with the UN for planning a new urban green strategy with Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality.
