The City Unknown with Spolka:

A call for participants for The City Unknown, the IAF Summer School 2024.

“In-between collecting and drawing“ – Spolka’s contribution to The City Unknown – is an invitation to generate a visual narrative through drawing and mapping activities in Dublin’s city centre, with a focus on what holds collective relevance for participants. Employing cartological explorations as a medium for engagement, this workshop will examine universal urban issues beyond the visible. 

Important booking information:

The IAF Summer School is open to all, including professionals, academics, graduates and students. It will be of particular relevance to architects, artists, activists, creatives, cultural practitioners, community workers, urbanists, geographers, film-makers and anyone with an interest in architecture, sustainability, design and the built environment. CPD points are available for participating registered architects.

The City Unknown is free to attend, but booking is essential as places are limited.

Please note that Friday’s Conversation and Saturday’s Workshop are interdependent, so we suggest that you register for both days and attend on both days.

The IAF Summer School is in three parts. It also runs on 11-12 May with METASITU (in-person at IAF House, Dublin) and on 14 May with continentale (online).

It is possible to book for one, two, or all three parts of the IAF Summer School. Please book for each event separately. 

Read the full announcement for an overview of the IAF Summer School programme.

All IAF Summer School events are presented as part of the LINA Programme.

Viktória Mravčáková and Zuzana Révészová are LINA Fellows 2024/25 with Spolka’s collective project, Never Never School.

About LINA:

The IAF Summer School forms part of IAF’s contribution to the LINA programme of architecture events all over Europe.

IAF is a member organisation of LINA, a European network of 34 institutions working at the intersection of architecture and other fields related to spatial culture. LINA’s goal is to help steer the architectural sector towards clean and circular practices through Learning, Interacting and Networking in Architecture and by supporting emerging professionals (competitively selected LINA Fellows) with innovative and forward-looking projects.

LINA is coordinated by the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Ljubljana in Slovenia and co-funded by the Creative Europe initiative of the European Union.

Each year LINA has Open Calls for emerging professionals to join their programmes as LINA Fellows. Becoming a LINA fellow offers you opportunities to collaborate with LINA member organisations all over Europe. Please follow this link to learn more about responding to this year’s Open Call.
