Material Lineages of Slowness: A Feminist Approach

Conversation
Credit:

This panel brings together four female thinkers and practitioners—designers, historians, and scholars—whose work centers on material and embodied forms of knowledge. Framed through the lens of slowness, the conversation will explore themes of domesticity, care, and non-industrial, non-commodified materials, techniques, and labor.

Envisioned as a collaborative thought by the Columbia Natural Materials Lab and CAFx, the panel will ask: What genealogies of slowness have emerged alongside industrial and technological shifts? How can tactile, immersive engagements with “messy” materials resist the abstraction of digital culture? And what roles do time, temporality, and pace play in imagining architectures beyond extraction and automation?

Panelists:

Kate Orff, landscape architect and Founder of SCAPE, Bonnie Hvillum, Founder and Creative Director of Natural Material Studio, Nikoline Dyrup Carlsen, Architect, Founding partner and Director of SPACON&X and Lola Ben-Alon, Assistant Professor Columbia University, GSAPP, Director, Natural Materials Lab.


DA:

Dette panel samler fire kvindelige tænkere og praktikere – designere, historikere og forskere – hvis arbejde kredser om materielle og kropslige former for viden. Gennem et fokus på langsomhed vil samtalen udforske temaer som domesticitet, omsorg samt ikke-industrielle og ikke-kommodificerede materialer, teknikker og arbejdsformer.

Udformet som en fælles refleksion af Columbia Natural Materials Lab og CAFx stiller panelet spørgsmålene: Hvilke genealogier af langsomhed er opstået i kølvandet på industrielle og teknologiske skift? Hvordan kan taktile, immersive møder med “rodede” materialer modstå den digitale kulturs abstraktion? Og hvilken rolle spiller tid, temporalitet og tempo i forestillinger om arkitektur hinsides udvinding og automatisering?

Paneldeltagere:

Kate Orff, landskabsarkitekt og grundlægger af SCAPE, Bonnie Hvillum, grundlægger og kreativ direktør for Natural Material Studio, Nikoline Dyrup Carlsen, arkitekt, medstifter og direktør for SPACON&X, samt Lola Ben-Alon, lektor ved Columbia University, GSAPP, direktør for Natural Materials Lab.
