The IAF Summer School 2023 continues to explore the theme of CONNECTION with Zwahlen Krupičková (known as zwkr), an emerging practice that combines architecture, landscape architecture and urban planning with a focus on public space.

Outside spaces are an essential part of our daily lives. Zwkr seek to improve the environment and increase biodiversity with small and local interventions, using the cycles of materiality as a designing tool. The future must consider not only buildings but also their existing surroundings.

Through LINA, zwkr are also working with the Haus der Architektur in Graz and the Mies van der Rohe Foundation in Barcelona.

Presentation and discussion, Tuesday 9 May, 18.30-20.00 (on Zoom)

Using examples from their practice, zwkr will present strategies on how people, animals, and plants can live together and have to be considered together: an inclusive design not only for people.

A built garden is a place of coexistence for people, plants, and insects. Landscaping around a high school contributes to connection and learning. How can we make the most of everyday opportunities to enhance the existing environment? After the presentation, there will be time for group discussion.

Irish Architecture Foundation

About With a focus on public audiences and established in 2005, the Irish Architecture Foundation (IAF) is Ireland’s independent organisation that fosters and advances the culture and communication of architecture. Based in Dublin, but with a national remit and an international network, our purpose is to empower people to build a better world. A not-for-profit charity, the IAF is principally funded by the Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon. It is additionally funded by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, under the auspices of the National Built Heritage Services; the Office of Public Works; and Dublin City Council. Across an increasingly broad range of events, programmes, and exhibitions, the IAF partners with individuals, organisations, government agencies, education institutions and civil society groups to ensure that our work builds civic pride and action and that outcomes are impactful and transformative.
