Sense of Space-time
Sara Pinheiro / Taufan ter Weel
lecture – discussion
Center for Architectural Heritage Plasy
Our sense of space-time is historically and geographically divided. In other words, the ways in which we relate to – experience, conceptualise and organise – space and time are intertwined with social, cultural, technological, political and economic developments both local and global.
This lecture will focus on the tension between abstractions of space-time and site-specificity – between dominant models or representations of space and/or time (Cartesian, Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry, Newtonian logic; but also scientific management, algoritmic programming, smart control and Fordism) and what is called the sense of place or situated knowledges and rhythms – which seems apparent in the global history of colonial and industrial capitalism.
