Kacper Kępiński: Towards a Regenerative Architecture - lecture at Gallery VI PER
Galerie VI PER cordially invites you to a lecture that is part of the accompanying program of the exhibition of the Centrala studio.
The Anthropocene is an era of humanity, an era of anthropogenic changes that result in global climate catastrophe. The lecture will focus on a recent publication that expands on the content created as part of the exhibition "Anthropocene" presented in 2022 in Warsaw and in 2023 in Wrocław. As part of the exhibition, Centrala created the project Artisanal Microclimates, which examines the impact of buildings on elements of the urban climate. In a broader context, the exhibition and the book explore the possibilities that architectural tools can create in strategies for the regeneration of the planet and in care politics. They address the relationships of the so-called donut economy and references to the reality of European cities give it a practical dimension. The book contains essays by experts from various fields – including architects, sociologists, geographers – as well as works by artists who created speculative installations about the future of regenerative architecture. The book concludes with a series of texts speculating on the social and philosophical dimensions of the Anthropocene, on the challenges of the future for the planet and architecture that must find itself in a new context.
Kacper Kępiński is an architect and curator, and along with Adrian Krężlik, he is a co-editor of the book Anthropocene: Towards Regenerative Architecture (2022). He is the head of the external projects and exhibitions department at the National Institute of Architecture and Urban Planning in Warsaw.
The event takes place with the support of the Polish Institute in Prague.
