Event: Lift Workshop @ Hungary

In two weeks, Attila Bujdoso of Kitchen Budapest in collaboration with KÉK (Hungarian Contemporary Architecture Centre) are holding the first ever Hungarian Lift event. The number of seats has already been extended once (from 35) and you can grab the last free tickets if you hurry!

The first edition of Lift Workshop in Hungary sets the scene in the Eastern Quartier of Pécs at a historical coal mining site, an outstanding architectural merit, now part of the city’s cultural heritage.

The aim of the workshop is to explore the implications of urban information systems for architecture and urban design, disciplines that have been largely absent from the mostly technologist-driven discussions of "ubiquitous" computing but nevertheless can provide new insights and alternative perspectives on the implications of “networked objects” for urban culture, newly emerging spatial practices and organizational forms. During the workshop participants develop responses, scenarios applicable to Eastern Quartier and later other urban areas undergoing similar transformation.
