Haute école d’art et de design - HEAD

The conferences bring together a series of transversal personalities who address the subject of non-human architecture. From simple greenhouses to botanic facilities, data centres and automated interiors, never before in history has architecture produced so many interiors for the non-human, challenging disciplinary notions on tectonics, light and comfort, and entire regulatory frameworks. Once designed for and with the human, contemporary interiors have instead become exponentially complex materialisations where the politics of our present moment are played out. Ultimately, who are they for?

Organized by two schools of the HES⁠-⁠SO University of Applied Sciences and Arts Western Switzerland (Geneva) – HEAD, Geneva School of Art and Design and HEPIA, Geneva School of Engineering, Architecture and Landscape – Archipelago: Architectures for the Multiverse is the first edition of a digitally-anchored international event arising from a partnership between three departments – architecture, interior architecture and landscape architecture – that will be broadcast from May 6 to 8 in Geneva.
