About event
a3 KAT cordially invites you to another lecture from the Brown Lecture Series.
Kacper Kępiński: Tectonic Landscapes: The Artificial Nature
The lecture will be in English.
We look forward to seeing you!
What we call “nature” is often anything but natural.
The talk explores tectonic landscapes — environments reshaped by both subtle and drastic human interventions. It examines how engineering, extraction, and architecture transform not only the ground beneath us but also the entire landscape above — its forms, ecologies, and ways of being. Architecture here becomes both a tool and a witness of these transformations, revealing how the built environment participates in shaping new artificial natures — hybrid terrains where design, technology, and ecology are deeply intertwined.

It explores how engineering, mining, and architecture transform not only the land below us, but the entire landscape above us—its forms, ecologies, and ways of being. Architecture here becomes both a tool and a witness to these transformations and reveals how the built environment participates in the formation of new artificial characters - hybrid terrains where design, technology and ecology are deeply connected.
