Titled \u2018Socio-demographic Plastics\u2019, his talk unfolds some of the implications for architecture and urbanism of one of the dominant societal transformations taking place \u2013\u00a0demographic ageing.\u00a0It identifies the group known as the \u2018Young-Old\u2019 as a\u00a0petri dish for experiments in altered forms of subjectivity, collectivity,\u00a0and environment \u2013 one that produces a field of latent urban and\u00a0architectural novelty,\u00a0with both escapist and\u00a0emancipatory dimensions.<\/p>\n

Spring Lecture Series: Pressures on the urban field: Ageing, Migration, Injustice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Spring Lecture series, curated by the International Masters in Architecture, Urban Projects, Urban Cultures Program in Brussels, touches on three important issues which will have a significant impact on our current and future urban (rural) landscapes: Ageing, Migration and Injustice. Over the last decades we have experienced unparalleled shifts in the demographic and migratory patterns of our communities, seen an unprecedented acceleration in the growth of our cities, alongside an increase in urban and rural injustice. These socio-economic, political and cultural shifts impact on our environments and how we inhabit space. Three invited international guests will tackle these issues from inside out, by unfolding particularities, unseen potentials but also challenges as they present themselves in the everyday realm.\u00a0 As the global and local scale are inextricably linked, global issues manifests themselves in the urban and spatial patterns of everyday life and vice versa. In this lecture series, Ageing, Migration and Injustice are not merely terms to discuss and juggle as intellectual academic entities, but as constituents that are attached to actual lives. They are, so to speak,\u00a0 \u201clived-out\u201d in real time. As such they become realities and practices at the same time. They prompt and probe the status quo of our urban structures, often resisting traditional categorizations of space. They can reset codes and behave in unpredictable and unexpected ways. They offset what we think we know. They undulate between volatile, convivial, viable, drastic, quiet, inventive, emancipatory, suffering, oppressive and gentile modes, creating conflict and communality, sometimes at the same time. As we look more closely at the structures we create on a daily basis, examining particularities of the interrelationships between space and spatial practice, expect the unexpected. The series opens with a talk by Deane Simpson.<\/p>\n
