This talk dwells on the experience of Rami Daher and TURATH: Architecture and Urban Design Consultants, citing projects that were based on a strong link between theory, academia, and practice.
The project departs as an imaginary architectural practice that takes over a commercial office space in the city.
Whether challenging existing boundaries or talking about futuristic dream houses, join some thought-provoking talks that explore architecture from the possibilities perspective.
Join a talk by Rami Daher, Associate Professor of architecture at the German Jordanian University and a practicing architect at TURATH: Architecture & Urban Design Consultants, for a talk that covers his projects that are based on a strong link between theory, academia, and practice. TURATH’s work is supported by a multidisciplinary research team and research center encompassing architecture, urban design and planning, green architecture, planning, heritage conservation, urban regeneration, transportation, archaeology, environmental engineering, municipal infrastructure, heritage management, tourism, and spatial computer database applications.
Entitled ‘Breaking Boundaries: Critical Linking Between Research and Practice and Influencing Public Policy and Implementation’, the talk concentrates on illustrating how such a research-based practice could lead to different forms of activism while influencing public policy concerning vision, program, and site of these projects.
For a project of a different nature, join ‘Dream House’, a talk and workshop facilitated by Nuha Innab and Saba Innab, in which they depart from an imaginary architectural practice that takes over a commercial office space in the city. In the format of an open studio, a discussion will be initiated on the current practices in architecture, built around an open call and invitation to architects to design their "dream house".
Nuha and Saba Innab are founders of OPPA (On/Pre/Post Act), an architecture and research collective concerned with the built environment, urban contexts, and the sociopolitical inscriptions on space. Between theory and practice, they aim to construct alternative readings and bodies of knowledge that are critical, imaginative and accessible.
