Thinking by Design

Critical & creative approaches on architecture and design studies

Athens Open Studio

Thinking by Design is a series of encounters by Chara Stergiou, for anyone interested in architecture and design as an expanded field. From prospective students to curious minds, participants are invited to further their understanding of design and its creative process through a series of 1 and ½ hour sessions. The courses encourage a transdisciplinary understanding of the above-mentioned fields as informed by current creative practices, studios, academic curricula, exhibitions, publications, in short, contemporary thinking and practice.In each session, we are going to deal with historical and theoretical knowledge in a non-linear way. Each course focuses on a specific subject, starting from a crucial moment or project in architectural history, theory or practice, in view of opening it up to further critical and creative reflections.Thinking by Design is formed as participatory lectures and their schedule intentionally follows a parallel agenda of local events, exhibitions and happenings that complement the educational experience. • City walks &amp; visits related to the session’s themes will be included.• Participants are welcome to keep their personal ‘creative journal’ and short exercises will be handed though they are non-mandatory.The sessions aim to provide participants with a perspective on how practitioners have articulated their practice in relation to a learning through thinking and making approach. It intends to enhance an interdisciplinary skill set and improve creative media skills. Thinking by Design is addressed to:<ul><li>Prospective students in the art and design-related disciplines </li><li>University students in the above fields</li><li>Young creatives</li><li>General audience </li></ul>with a critical interest in the field of design, architecture and/or its history &amp; theory as well its creative orientation.Course Schedule 1st Session: ‘Alles ist Arkitektur’2nd Session: Exhibition Visit ‘Constantinos Doxiadis’ Informational Modernism: The Machine at the Heart of Man’, Onassis Stegi3rd Session: ‘Are our cities dumb?’4th Session:  ‘Machine-à-habiter, elements without architects &amp; beyond’5th Session: ‘Superarchitecture’About Chara StergiouChara Stergiou is a research-based practitioner invested in transdisciplinary theoretical approaches.
