Symposium Hyper-Rural : the end of Urbanism ?
Ce symposium vise à définir le nouveau rôle de l'art, de l'architecture, du design numérique et du secteur culturel dans la régénération d'espaces ruraux.
du 21 novembre 2017 au 22 novembre 2017
The symposium is partly intended as a response to the outcomes of two recent publications and research projects (under). It also aims to document the emergence of a radical new programme of art and agriculture and critical rural arts practices which, in turn, propose a cultural reframing of agriculture and rural development in the post-agricultural era. Including the New Creative Rural Economies initiative (and a conference proposed for 2018) which will further outline a wider strategic role for art, architecture, digital design and the cultural sector in support of rural regeneration and the Government’s (post‐Brexit) Industrial Stratgey.
Rem Koolhaas ‘The Countryside’ the Charles Jencks Award lecture presentation at RIBA in London, 20th December 2012. In this Koolhaas contrasts what he describes as the increasing hyper‐Cartesian re(de)formation of the countryside, with what he also views as the regressive tendencies of the discourse of urbanism*, and the increasing whimsicality and detachment of some urban public art, architecture and design.
