Architectures of Security
Ministry of Defence
The participation in the Future Force Conference is a step further in an ongoing collaboration between Het Nieuwe Instituut and the Ministry of Defence towards negotiated outcomes about future urban challenges, as exemplified earlier in the project BLUE, the Dutch entry for the 15th edition of the Venice Biennale. It will manifest in a proposal for an action plan that will be delivered to the Ministry of Defence, and in a series of conversations and public events organized in the following months.
The Future Force Conference is an opportunity to address the impact of the security structures and technologies on the built environment, and to envision new models of spatial politics, at the intersection of social, cultural, legal and physical environments, such as urban diplomacy and design for legacy.
