The presentation and debate FEEDBack MIES brings together leading voices from the global discourse: theorist Bart Lootsma, architect and educator Matias del Campo, innovator Eric Goldemberg, and Czech architect Jiří Uran Vítek. After short introductions of their work, the panelists will come together in a lively conversation exploring the crossroads between modernist ideals and avant-garde experimentation with AI, biomorphic design, and digital fabrication.
Mies’ vision of architecture as a rational yet poetic art resonates strongly with contemporary attempts to work with algorithmic processes, machine learning, and computational form-finding. How can we reinterpret the transparency of space in the age of synthetic imagery? What does authorship mean when machines become co-designers? And can modernism’s clarity coexist with today’s fluid, biomorphic, or even chaotic aesthetics?
Set in the unique atmosphere of Villa Tugendhat, the discussion invites architects, students, and the wider public to reflect on both the roots and the horizons of architectural innovation. It is a moment where history and future meet — where Mies’ enduring clarity becomes a lens for questioning how artificial intelligence and new design tools are reshaping the very idea of architecture.
Concert in the living area of Villa Tugendhat
A unique jazz improvisation will be performed on specially designed 3D-printed music instruments created by MONAD Studio / Eric Goldemberg + Veronica Zalcberg with musician-luthier Scott F. Hall. The concert fuses advanced design, experimental sound, and improvisation, creating an exceptional dialogue between music and architecture in the setting of Mies van der Rohe’s Villa Tugendhat in Brno.
