Co-curation of an installation featuring the collective research project on architecture pedagogy led by Beatriz Colomina with Princeton PhD Candidates, as an Associated project to the 3rd Lisbon Architecture Triennale: Beatriz Colomina, Ignacio G. Galán, Evangelos Kotsioris, Anna-Maria Meister
Sinel de Cordes, Lisbon (Portugal) / September 12 - December 15, 2013
Radical Pedagogies explores a series of pedagogical experiments that played a crucial role in shaping architectural discourse and practice in the second half of the twentieth century. As a challenge to normative thinking, they questioned, redefined, and reshaped the postwar field of architecture. They are radical in the literal meaning stemming from the Latin radix (root), as they question the basis of architecture. These new modes of teaching shook foundations and disturbed assumptions, rather than reinforcing and disseminating them. They operated as small endeavors, sometimes on the fringes of institutions, but had long-lasting impact. Much of architectural teaching today still rests on the paradigms they introduced.
