IoA Institute of Architecture

Welcome

The goal of the Institute of Architecture at the University of Applied Arts Vienna is to teach architecture as an all-inclusive thought process that puts the future architect in the position to define architecture as a three-dimensional expression of culture. To achieve this, studios closely work together with specialists in the departments of technology, theory and editing within our institute, as well as with specialists from reputable external organizations.

This potential for interaction is realized in closely networked teams that are kept comparatively small to facilitate the transfer of knowledge. In computerlabs and state-of-the-art model shops, the latest technologies are tested in theory and practice. The continuous necessity of re-defining architecture both in theoretical and practical terms should be the main focus of teaching.

Sanford Kwinter Lecture January 14, 2010 7pm

IOA Sliver lecture, 14 January 2010, 7pm, Lichthof 2

Sanford Kwinter “Primordial Networks: ‘like water inside of water’”

The recent challenges of environmental science and activism have not been met by the architectural profession with innovative intellectual or imaginative propositions. And yet, it is the task of the design disciplines to discover new ways of understanding the human relationship to the environment, even ones that leave much of its past conventions behind. “Ecological thinking” represents one such radical foundational departure, but it is one that should not be seen as foreign to the design disciplines, for it has everything to do with how forms are made and how they arrive in our midst. Contemporary models from evolutionary theory to the neurosciences are adopting ‘ecological’ perspectives and conceiving their objects as products of networked interactions. A change in thinking is called for today that goes well beyond the current scope of ‘sustainability’ discourses.
