On 20 and 21 November, the JBSC conference 'Staying with Modernity? (Dis)Entangling Coloniality & Architecture' takes place.

The Jaap Bakema Study Centre is holding its 11th annual conference. In this edition, we will reflect on the ambiguous nature of modern architecture, particularly in relation to exploitative colonial practices that stand in stark contrast to the progressive ideals of modernism. With contributions from a diverse group of researchers, we will interrogate the entanglement of modernity, coloniality, and architecture.
