Intervju kommer snart...
Fra kalendersaken:
"What can solar cells do for design? The current approach has been dominated by answers in terms of effectiveness, technological and financial. With a point of departure in the continental tradition of architecture writings and philosophy, this thesis seeks to explore the potential affectiveness of solar design. It discusses the new technology in view of the phenomenological tradition, as in the writings of Karsten Harries and Judith Butler, and their predecessors, such as Jan Patocka, and especially Maurice Merleau-Ponty."
