AA tutor Aude-Line Dulière takes part in Princeton School of Architecture ‘Rethinking Concrete’ Conference
On Friday 23 October Aude-Line Dulière, who teaches ‘Before, During, After, Again’ (DIP 18) took part in the ‘Rethinking Concrete: Material Conventions in the Anthropocene’ at the Princeton University School of Architecture.
The interdisciplinary conference organized by Forrest Meggers and Lucia Allais, will discuss new approaches to the lifespan, material dynamics, cultural history, and design potential of reinforced concrete. Once conceived as a quintessentially modernist material, a “liquid stone” that announced the arrival of an eternal present, reinforced concrete is in fact a highly dynamic technological system, subject to inevitable failure through carbonation and other processes.
Aude-Line will take part in a roundtable alongside Lola Ben-Alon, Assistant Professor at Columbia GSAPP; Erin Besler, co-founder of Besler & Sons; Jing Liu, Principal, SO-IL and Dorit Aviv, Assistant Professor of Architecture at University of Pennsylvania’s Weitzman School of Design.
