Venue: B117 theatre, Melbourne School of Design. Building 133. The University of Melbourne, VIC 3010
Presenters: Associate Professor Holger Kehne
Folding space into space, Plasma draw landscapes into buildings, streets into facades, inside to outside. Transformative tectonics set spaces, planes and bodies into unforseen relationships that challenge discrete conditions, conventional topographies and spatial codes. An architecture of trajectory and momentum, which responds to the specificities of the local context and the possibilities of engagement.
Holger Kehne, co-founder and director of Plasma Studio, will illuminate through projects of a wide range of scales, types and locations; processes and techniques; and forge a tectonics of transformation, conductivity and complexity.
Replacing specificities of scale and type with that of context and affect, Plasma fuses architecture and landscape/urbanism to link the global, regional, urban and environmental systems and forces on the one hand, and the sphere of subjective, individual corporeal experience on the other. Plasma seeks to render visible some of the infinite pragmatic and poetic structures and, by extension, evoke a more active participatory environment.
