Conference by the architect Lydia Kallipoliti

The architect and engineer Lydia Kallipoliti visits Elisava to offer the conference ‘Histories of Ecological Design: An Unfinished Cyclopedia’, organized by the Master in Ephemeral Architecture and Temporary Spaces.
‘Histories of Ecological Design’ presents conflicting definitions and concepts of architects and designers and the parallel histories of their intellectual positions toward environmental thought from the 19th century to today. To survey the formation of this field, the context is not exclusively examined chronologically, but also in connected worldviews, each rendering evolving perceptions of nature, its relation to culture, and the occupation of the planet by human and non-human subjects.
The book showcases that ecological design starts with the reconceptualization of the world as a complex system of flows rather than a discrete compilation of objects, which visual artist and theorist György Kepes has described as one of the fundamental reorientations of the 20th century.
