Section 25: Artists and the Political Movements
Panel: "Politics and Architecture"
Chair: Emilia Palonen, University of Essex, Department of Government,
UK. [log in to unmask]
Politics of contemporary urban architecture, as political thought and
action, is a wide topic which could contain for example discoursive
debates of architectural styles and approaches; politicking with the
institutional choices of architects and styles; architects as political
actors; architectural design and thinking as a medium of politics, ideology
and critique; urban artefacts as memorials; architecture as shaping urban
identities, city-images, political cityscapes etc.
The prospective papers could be on contemporary urban architecture. Where
the contemporary invites, in particular, papers addressing recent debates
and projects, but also papers looking at past debates of the then
contemporary architecture and its links with politics. The 'contemporary'
aims to locate the architetural politics or political architecture in a
certain temporal context. The papers could also observe how specific urban
artefacts are tied to political discourses and/or how they create
ideological spaces. The second attribute 'urban' refers to the role of
architecture in transforming cities, and thereby urban experience,
identities and city-images, as well as the socio-political aspects of
architecture and the way in which urban artefacts are linked to urban
spaces and their creation at large.
