Beschrijving
Hilary Sample will discuss the way the human body is catalogued, distributed, and instrumentalised by architects in the format of the scale figure, used to give context and animation to section drawings and perspectives. She explores the fundamental paradox of a globalised digital silhouette in a world that is increasingly divisive in its relation to the human being.

Collaboration with e-flux Architecture and The Berlage
In 2017 Het Nieuwe Instituut launched a collaboration with e-flux Architecture and The Berlage to investigate representation within and beyond the field of architecture. Ten architects and researchers examined representational formats used in architectural or urban design through lectures at Het Nieuwe Instituut and The Berlage and essays on e-flux Architecture’s online platform. Architecture and Representation brings to light the agency embedded in architectural tools and questions how they disseminate into the wider world. Lectures by Peggy Deamer, Pier Vittorio Aureli, Mpho Matsipa, Hilary Sample, Joan Ockman, Samuel Stewart-Halevy, Jess Bier and more.
