23 april, 17-19. Föreläsningssal E3, KTH, Osquarsbacke 14. Collaborative planning and architecture - opportunity or nightmare? Markus Miessen Markus Miessen is an architect and writer who has e.g. been teaching at the Architectural Association in London and the Berlage Institute in Rotterdam. He is the author of books like "The Nightmare of Participation" (Sternberg Press, 2010). Involving citizen in planning is motivated with democratic and efficiency arguments. Critics claim that participative processes rarely are what they seem to be - officials are instead using these tools to avoid responsibility or to legitimize their own projects. Some meen that we need other instruments than "dialogues" in order to question and rearrange power-structures. On the seminar some perspectives on the opportunities and pitfalls with participation will be discussed. Markus Miessen, föreläsning med efterföljande samtal. Föreläsningssal E3, KTH, Osquarsbacke 14 kl 17-19 Föreläsningen arrangeras i samarbete med Stadsbyggnadsakademin. För Sveriges Arkitektförening, Ola Broms Wessel och Meike Schalk.
