Dimitris Gourdoukis will lecture on the 13th of December, 2018, at the School of Architecture of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, in the context of the seminar “Critical Images”, taught by Anastasions Tellios. The lecture, under the title “References, Standards and Theories of Architecture” will comment on current developments in architectural theory and production, on the re-emergence of the concept of ‘reference’ as a valid design tool, albeit re-imagined in a post-digital context. Within the current, protocologicaly controlled processes, references need to move beyond algorithmically pre-selected suggestions towards the production of architectural narratives and mythologies. The lecture will also present the design processes behind recent object-e projects like the Loumaki Park Competition.
