Main themes
Taking a stand, sharing an experience, asserting a critical perspective, and engaging with an audience—the ‘Contextual Arts’ course delves into artistic practices across various contexts, informed by the theory and history of art and architecture.
The course initiates a creative process grounded in questions related to social phenomena. It encourages the use of alternative modes of representation—beyond the plans and models typically employed by architects—to engage with reality and reflect on these questions through a committed and narrative-driven approach.
Each year, the course revolves around a specific theme.
