'Talk. Elizabeth Sikiaridi: Hybrid Space' at the National Gallery of Art

The lecture focuses on the Hybrid Space approach to urban and spatial phenomena, presenting a series of projects by Hybrid Space Lab.
Hybrid Space considers in an integrated way physical space and media networks as well as built space and natural environments.
The Hybrid Space approach develops ‘hybrid strategies’ of “crossover”, drawing on the recognition that transferring ideas from one field to another is a recipe for cultural innovation.
Hybrid Space Lab addresses the interconnected challenges of today, across the issues of environment and climate change, globalization and migration, digitalization and accelerating technological developments:
“We approach the technological developments from the perspective of the designer, architect, urbanist by “inhabiting technology” – transforming technological developments to meet today’s needs and desires”.
