The Building brought together historians, theorists, architects and PhD candidates from both Europe and the US for a day-long exchange around the problem of the building as a form of knowledge. Each participant was asked to pick a building, built or designed within the last 25 years, which they could show embodied a historically substantial contribution in terms of a particular design aspect or a concept relevant to the reading of buildings in general. Participants were also invited to speculate on the possibility for such a design technique or concept to become the seed of a metadisciplinary theoretical framework.
