This seminar consists of two parts, first Håkan Nilsson will give a lecture on how virtuality as concept is operating and understood through different practices of cultural production. The second part is your presentations and a follow-up discussion.

Your assignment is to read the text Virtuality, Philosophy, Architecture by Giovanna Borradori, and then discuss how the text can be used to understand and discuss architectural concepts. Each group shall relate the text to a specific historic project (see below), as well as an example taken from contemporary popular culture.
