We are pleased to announce the launchment of Critic|all V International Conference on Architectural Design & Criticism, organized by the Architectural Design Department of Madrid School of Architecture and Department of Architecture of TU Delft, to be held from 10 to 11 October 2023.
In its fifth edition, we propose to turn our attention to words, as a basic instrument for the construction of architecture culture and theory. Its vocabulary is in constant evolution so it might be worth to critically address the uses and misuses, the creation and wearing, the transformation and timeliness of the words with which architecture is - or has been - described, historized or updated through time. For that reason, we forward the term e(time)ologies as the title for the Conference, thus suggesting the importance of looking into etymological lines in two opposite time directions: one pointing to roots and sources, the other to future visions and transformations.
