2018 Fall Conference Call for Abstracts – Candyland(scape)



CANDY LAND (scape)

Disrupter: Antonio Torres, University of Illinois at Chicago

A colorful low stakes game for all ages. There is no strategy, just a path with tasty treats and fun along the way. It is more interested in creating an alternative world and atmosphere than it is in rules. The simplicity belies a cruel reality: winners are pre-determined through the initial shuffle of the deck.

– Need architecture concern itself with clearly defined strategies? Are rules and fun equally important?

– Can architecture build worlds? What kinds can and should it create?

– Can architecture be for all ages? Can it be youthful?

– What are the risks and rewards in practice? Are there winners and losers?

– Can architecture and its accompanying discourses be sweet, tasty and / or colorful?
