Night of the Philosophy 2015

This year’s Night of the Philosophy will be a debate on the theme: Subjective Aesthetics?

On this evening we want to reflect on the nature of the idea of aesthetics in architecture. We have noticed that the topic has become increasingly polarized. Aesthetics is often regarded as something individual and subjective. In education (in Delft) it is therefore often not valid as a design decision. In practice, also, clear pragmatic and rational design decisions prevail over more undefinable and ungraspable aesthetic considerations, due to efficiency of costs and organization of the process.

Five speakers with both a practical and theoretical background will give a short pitch of their vision regarding the topic. These pitches are followed by an informal discussion with the audience. Harm Tilman, editor in chief of the magazine ‘De Architect’ will be the moderator of the night.

We are happy to announce the following speakers:

Giovanna Carnevali – director of the Mies van der Rohe Foundation
Peg Rawes – senior lecturer at the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL
Sascha Glasl – owner and co-founder of the office Space&Matter
Jurjen Zeinstra – acting associate professor at the Architecture of the Interior Chair, TU Delft and owner and co-founder of Zeinstra van Gelderen Architecten

The night will start at 20.00h at Art Gallery Kadmium Delft. We advise everybody to be there a bit earlier (19.30h) to have a good spot! After the pitches and debate you are more than welcome to join us for drinks and a informal discussion with the speakers in Barbaar next door!

Tickets are 5 euro for non-members and 2,50 euro for Argus members. A drink is included!

Presale: friday 8/5, monday 11/5 and tuesday 12/5 during the lunchbreak in the main entrance hall, faculty of architecture. CASH ONLY
Doorsale: 19.30h, only when there are tickets left.

Make sure to get your ticket in time, since last year we were full!
