Yeoryia’s talk is titled Prompt, Score, Design.

Scores are verbal or visual instructions that prompt and plan a creative process rather than its outcome. They indicate procedures and relations for making and doing. The architect of the score sets the conditions of the design environment and the terms of the work’s development over time as if it is a performance, often specifying actions, tools and materials. The work is open to evolve in a dynamic and non-hierarchical way, allowing improvisation and shared authorship. I will discuss scores from an interdisciplinary perspective, using examples from across the arts.

Yeoryia Manolopoulou is an architect and design researcher. She is Professor of Architecture and Experimental Practice at The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, and Co-Founder of AY Architects. Manolopoulou is a pioneer in the development of the field of design research in architecture, and the Founder and Lead Editor of the Bartlett Design Research Folios. She has written Architectures of Chance, defining architecture as an aleatoric practice, and co-created Losing Myself (2016 Venice Biennale), a multimedia research project on architecture and dementia. Her recent work is centered on developing a new theory and practice of the architecture score.
