Lecture
Critique of Architectural Ideology: Tafuri's Perspective
Description
This lecture delves into Manfredo Tafuri's critique of architectural ideology, focusing on his key works from the late 1960s and early 1970s. Tafuri challenges the cultural, social, and economic assumptions that underpin the current mode of production, emphasizing the need to direct this critique towards the left. The presentation explores how architecture becomes ideology by aligning with capitalist development, obscuring its premises and consequences. It also discusses the role of the architect as an organizer rather than a mere designer, as exemplified by Ludwig Hilberseimer's 'Vertical City' project.
