co+labo radović      co+labo lecture series: On Aesthetics: What, Where, Why and How?       

co+labo guest research seminar/lecture on Tuesday, 23 April 2019 was delivered by Professor Piyalada Thaveeprungsriporn, Head of Architecture at Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok. In order to facilitate discussion, each student was asked to "bring in an object/ a thing/ a photo/ a piece of music or anything she/he considers to be beautiful, and tell the class 'how the thing is beautiful' (or has certain aesthetic qualities)." All co+labo members have brought interesting, often surprising objects and ... more, assisting Piyalada to kick off her interactive presentation.

Overlapping research themes and interests of co+labo and dbStudio are continuing to generate collaborative educational and research project between Keio Architecture and Meiji University I-AUD. Lectures by Davisi Boontharm and Ko Nakamura at I-AUD (above) and Darko Radović at Keio (below) have launched The Bangkok Fieldwork, which is conceptualised as the first of several critical and creative intersections in our investigations of multisensorial experience of urban spaces and environmental and cultural variations of quality of everyday urban life. Milica Muminović, first co+labo PhD Graduate (2014), who now teaches at the University of Canberra and is currently spending part of her Sabbatical at co+labo, contributed to discussion and quality of both sessions.
