Architecture Speaks! Dominik Campanella, Concular
Wed 3, February 2027, at 1.15–2.30 pm (Finnish time UTC+2)
The online lecture will be held on Zoom, and registration is required.
In the twelfth season of the Architecture Speaks! lecture series, organized jointly by Aalto University and the Architecture & Design Museum, Professor and Head of Department Jenni Reuter invites seven speakers to share insights into their design processes and their roles in the world of architecture. The theme of this season is Local Memory.
Buildings carry memory through their materials, construction techniques, traces of use, and relationship to place. By reusing and adapting existing buildings, fragments, local materials, and techniques, architecture can continue rather than erase history, allowing different time periods to coexist. This approach can preserve and strengthen the social, ecological, and cultural values of the built environment while revealing its hidden potential. Architecture thus becomes an expression of collective responsibility and ecological awareness, connecting past, present, and future.

“I invited Helga Blocksdorf because I am interested in learning more about the research underlying her book Constructive Disobedience. I would also like to explore how place-specific layers of time and materials are articulated in her work.” – Jenni Reuter
