Windows are the most ancient device of communication between inside and outside. Windows are the architectural elements that negotiate the relationship between human life and the environment. Windows are frames, and as such, they constrain reality. Windows are screens, and as such, they can project the whole world into themselves.
What is the scope of a window if the outside world suddenly becomes extremely uncertain, unpredictable and unstable? What is the form of a window designed to provide resistance and resilience instead of transparency? What is the function of a window if artificial intelligence will take independent decisions on our lives?
Windows operate on the many levels — technological environmental, energetic, cultural, social, medical, religious, behavioural – of the human
existence on planet Earth. How many purposes can a window have? This workshop aims to be a research
about a collective contemporary re-interpretation of the window and its multiple meanings.
