concrete matters

A Talk by gaban büllingen, at

Abstract

based on the work of the berlin based architect francis keré i want to illustrate the problems and possiblities in building and material culture in general of a (lets put it this way) post colonial soiciety. no matter if it is colonialising itself or still suffering of the past. his work shows what great possibilities lie within the respectful treatment of existing material cultures and its sensitive adaptation towards contemporary needs and implications. based on this i want to illustrate the notions i got during the observation of the local building production. focusing on the ideas, problems and (miss)conceptions considering buildings i got to know while my stay in dharamsala region.
