Author Description

Over the last ten years, the SLIVER series of lectures has gained international recognition as a forum where young and established designers, artists, and theorists can present and exchange new ideas. In the context of the 150-year anniversary of the University for Applied Arts, SLIVER presented as "positions" the works and ideas of graduates from the Institute for Architecture created in the course of the last three decades. This publication presents these as a cross-section through time and as a pulsating exchange covering the challenges faced by the teaching and practice of architecture, research, and design culture in the past, present, and future.
