The Architecture Academy Maastricht organizes public Thursday Evening Lectures. These lectures are initiated, organized, and developed by the Architecture Academy Maastricht.
Entering a building is an encounter with a strange intimacy. We insert ourselves into that fabric: our present becomes a new layer. Appropriation is never a neutral gesture. Space must not be seen as a commodity, but as a collective resource that must carry meaning and life. Against this backdrop, Bachelard's poetic idea of the building as “the topography of our intimate being” takes on a sharper edge. The building is not only a place of imagination, but also an arena of struggle. Appropriation is then not only a reconciliation of past and present, but also an act of resistance, a claim to a different future. The lecture series does not seek to smooth over this tension, but rather to make it tangible. For every building that welcomes us becomes both a home and a statement: a place to dream, but also to provoke.
The Euregional Architecture Prize (EAP) is awarded annually to the best graduation project from the five participating architecture faculties in the tri-national Euregio Meuse-Rhine: RWTH and FH Aachen; the universities of Hasselt and Liège; and the Academy of Architecture Maastricht.
This evening, nominees and winners will talk about their projects and
processes.
