Aborder le logement #3 Verena von Beckerath (Heide & von Beckerath, Berlin)

Where? 1, rue de la Tour Jacob, L-1831 Luxembourg Art, Culture & Literature, Training/Conferences

Experiments, manifestos, prototypes

Heide & von Beckerath is an architecture practice based in Berlin. Applying both conceptual and rational thinking, their projects are informed by structural and formal clarity. The range of work covers urban design, architecture, interior design and research. They collaborate with other architects and specialists where appropriate. Their work is internationally exhibited and published and has received numerous awards.


In a contribution to the year-long study 'Catching Up with Life' at the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montréal, Giovanna Borasi (director of the CAA) discussed the possibility that soon we could find ourselves in outdated spaces, shaped by societal values that no longer represent a shared vision of who we are.


By showcasing specific developments in Berlin and beyond, Verena von Beckerath will discuss this simple and equally impressive consideration based on the examination of increasing social and spatial inequality, which harbours several topics and connections relating to housing and architecture.

LUCA, with the support of the Ministry of Housing and Spatial Planning, is organising a series of four lectures called 'Aborder le logement' ('Approaching housing') that will show how architects, through their work and commitment, can contribute to producing quality affordable housing, even in restrictive economic and regulatory contexts.

The series will feature leading architectural figures from the three border countries and Luxembourg. The aim is to provide an overview of architectural production in the three countries and to compare it with the local context.

In treating every project in its formal, cultural and intellectual dimensions as a whole, the studio collaborates with other architects and specialists where appropriate.
