main speakers
Jorge Otero Pailos is a New York-based architect, artist and theorist
specialized in experimental forms of preservation. He is tenured
Associate Professor of Historic Preservation at Columbia University’s
Graduate School of Architecture. He also is the Founder and Editor
of the journal Future Anterior. His artworks have been exhibited in
international shows such as the Venice Art Biennale, and are in the
collections of major museums and foundations. His works and writings
have been published in international publications such as Art in
America, Artform, Architectural Record, Volume and others. His work
rethinks preservation as a powerful countercultural practice that
creates alternative futures for our world heritage.
Nick Johnson is Director of Development at urban regeneration
company Urban Splash. A chartered surveyor by profession, Johnson
has always been interested in design in the built environment. He is
also a trustee of CUBE (Manchester’s Architecture Centre), a director
of Castlefield Gallery - one of Manchester’s leading contemporary
galleries and regional representative for CABE, the Commission for
Architecture and the Built Environment. He is holding a position as
visiting professor at The University of Sheffield, department for Town
and Regional Planning.
Rikke Stenbro is Urban Researcher at the Urban Planning &
Landscape Department, NIKU. Rikke is educated as an Art Historian
and took a Ph.D. degree in architectural transformation-processes
from Aarhus School of Architecture in 2010. In both theory and praxis
she is engaged with the procedures of heritage management that
are involved when architecture, cities and landscapes are considered
as subjects of preservation. Due to her academic background,
interdisciplinarity is conceived to be a fundamental principle, rather
than an imputed duty. Her work points not only to the need of
establishing more dynamic and transparent ways of working with the
definition and protection of heritage, but also to certain modes of
operandi, that can assure that that, which one strives to sustain, is not
lost in the process.
Siri Skiold Lexau is professor at the University of Bergen. She is an
art historian with a broad scope in her research in architectural
history. She has specialized in 20th century architecture, and
Norwegian and international history of Urban planning. She has
published books about urban ideals of the renaissance (Kongens
byer. Den internasjonale bakgrunnen for Christian 4s byplanlegging
i Norge (2007)), and postmodern urban planning (Mind the Gap.
Mellomposisjoner i samtidsarkitekturen (2000)). In her research, Lexau
is also focusing on the future for the industrial sites of the past.
Sidsel Hindal is Senior Adviser for the Arts Council Norway
(Kulturrådet). She is a historian, specializing in arts and culture as key
factors for local identity. Hindal has been working for several museums
and art institutions, and was Project Manager for The Norwegian Year
of Cultural Heritage 2009. She is now – among other things – working
on the “Heritage Here”-project (Kultur- og naturreise).
