I’m one of the curators of the Oslo Architecture Triennale 2019 and our theme is the architecture of Degrowth. I’m writing today to invite you to contribute to this architecture festival!
We have this week published an open call: http://oslotriennale.no/en/news/oat-2019-open-call-for-projects for contributors to an architecture library of the near-future which you or people you know may be interested in submitting projects for. Please do circulate this! Thank you!
We are also looking for researchers conversant in Degrowth matters to collaborate with architects, artists and designers to create objects and experiences for this architecture library.
If responding to the open call makes sense to you then please go ahead and do that through the lovely online form in the link above. However, if you’re interested in contributing but aren’t too sure how your research relates to architecture, then just email me on maria.smith[AT]interrobang.london (replace the [AT] with the usual symbol) and please include:
- “OAT Degrowth Research” in the subject line
- c. 200 words on your Degrowth-related research
- c. 200 word bio of yourself generally including which institutions you’re affiliated with, if any
- Where you are based (so that if there are architects geographically near you we can take this into account when pairing people up, though this will of course only be one factor)
Please contact us before 19th November after which we will be doing a big pairing up exercise connection researchers with architects.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Best wishes,
Maria
p.s. Another strand of the Triennale is a book of short stories. If you or anyone you know are writing fiction about degrowth, please get in touch!
