View the introduction and agenda
Bringing together artists and designers from a broad range of disciplines and countries, Space Rocks! attempts to understand spatial practices outside of architecture, from Asia as well as other parts of the world. This discussion is an attempt to reinvigorate students of the design school with new ways of conceptualizing spatial experience and representation from differing cultural perspectives as a way of making architecture more accessible on a global scale.
Space Rocks! asks whether architecture may benefit from a better understanding of related disciplines and how their work varies (if at all) across cultural borders. Fields outside of our own are increasingly adopting architectural methods to develop their projects, thus we are seeking to re-examine our own field through their eyes. We're investigating the specific relationship between spatial conception and representation of work, as a way of unpacking these projects and addressing them to a discussion within architecture. In doing so, we hope to fortify the discipline in a professional climate where "architectural" is increasingly claimed as a laudatory adjective by outside industries. By inviting guests from all over Asia and the United States, and from varying industries including artists in film, fashion, sculpture, graphic design, and photography to present their work in a forum at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, we hope to generate a dialogue between students and professionals concerning the effects of working across different cultural fields and spatial industries.
