A lecture by by Paul Domela with responses by Torange Khonsari and Ines Weizman. Part of Rip it up and start again, a series of 12 lectures curated and chaired by Kieran Long.
Liverpool’s transformation over the last decade is to some an exemplar of regeneration, and to others another instance of the sacrifice of civic values to commerce, and more specifically, retail. When Liverpool One, the huge shopping centre developed by Grosvenor Estates, was nominated for the Stirling Prize, it surely signalled where the institutions of architecture stood on this question. Paul Domela, the programme director of the internationally renowned arts festival Liverpool Biennial, and formerly the curator of Shrinking Cities Liverpool, will give us his observations of the social and political context of Liverpool in this era, and how the arts have played a role in the city’s development. Studio 3 tutor Torange Khonsari, whose students are working in Liverpool this year, and Dr Ines Weizman, programme director of ASD’s MA in Cities Design and Urban Culture, will respond on behalf of the school.
