Porosity Symposium

Fundació Enric Miralles

Porosity is a symposium and conversation in colaboration with Model Festival of Architectures

An arrangement of pores on a flute determines its tune. As it is for sound, could it be the same with form? Whether we observe the pattern of a popcorn beneath a microscope, the porous structure of a sponge cake, or the hollow wingbone of an albatross that keeps it airborne, it is the arrangement of vacancy that sustains these forms. Isn’t that also the case with blackholes? And cities? 

This is an invitation to take part in a research dialogue that uncovers new scales of understanding related to architecture, speculative design, critical thinking, art, and performance. Guest speakers will present core aspects of their porous research, their navigation of fluids through apparently solid structures, their negotiations with gravity and posture. Transactions of form-flow and porosity become central to understanding our complex environments and their moving possibilities. Architecture may then appear less as a “discipline” but as a “sieve” through which different disciplines “percolate”.
