The Mexican Roof Revisited
The Institute of Architecture of the University of Applied Arts Vienna organizes the International conference SUSTAINABILITY VS AESTHETICS? THE MEXICAN ROOF REVISITED in Mexico
SUSTAINABILITY VS AESTHETICS? THE MEXICAN ROOF REVISITED is an international conference in Oaxaca, Mexico (Centro de las Artes de San Agustín, Etla) and a Revisit of the project TECHO EN MEXICO. The two-day event is hosted by the Institute of Architecture of the University of Applied Arts Vienna.
Starting on October 30th 4pm the aim is to reconsider the topic of sustainability and aesthetics in architectural design and education, five years after the successful realization of the student project TECHO EN MEXICO.
Besides revisiting and reflecting the project in use, the Institute of Architecture invites to an international conference with leading architects Raimund Abraham, Rozana Montiel, Wolf D. Prix, Carl Pruscha, Mauricio Rocha, Michael Rotondi, from Austria, Mexico and the US, on the question of how environmental performance should relate to building form and function. A school such as the “Angewandte” bears a special responsibility in this connection, as here architecture is created with an exceptional aesthetic power to convince. To discuss the commitment to the art of spatial surprise and material virtuosity in relation to the topic of resources, sustainability and energy design is meant to provoke steps towards innovative, challenging and tangible sustainable future projects in the field of architecture.
