10 October – 4 December 2024, 18:30-20:00 | ETH Zürich, Design in Dialogue Lab, Neunbrunnenstrasse 50.
LUS Talks is a public lecture series that addresses critical questions in landscape and urban studies. This year, we explore the spatial challenges and societal changes arising from current breakdowns: disruptive moments in ecological processes and urban systems. What is falling apart and why? Who offers alternatives to these failing structures, and how do they sustain themselves when routine returns? We will examine how practices are transformed and discuss ways to resist, care for, and ultimately regrow from the remnants of the past. The LUS Talks are curated by Robin Hueppe, Carina Sacher, and Juan Villalón Hernando.
