CASA Vertigo in collaboration with the Curatorial Research Collective proudly present 50 Years of CASA Vertigo: From KSA to CASA, a retrospective exhibition diving into the history and legacy of the exhibition and event committee CASA Vertigo, established with TU Eindhoven’s Architecture department.
From KSA to CASA
On October 1st, 1970, the Kommissie Speciale Aktiviteiten (KSA, or Special Activities Committee) was established with TU Eindhoven’s Architecture, Building and Planning department. Created with the ambition to expand the architectural horizons of the school and its student body and, effectively, create its architecture culture, its mandate was to organize exhibitions, excursions, lectures, and other events related to architecture. Promptly, the committee established a profile based on a continuous questioning of architecture’s boundaries. Organizing exhibitions and lectures, it promoted the idea of intellectual discussion and confrontation as the basic elements to develop and elevate the department’s architecture culture beyond the prosaic platitudes of technique.
