Lecture and following round table were part of the project Everything is a Living Object that attempted to investigate the relevance of the architectural pioneer Yona Friedman under contemporary economical, sociological, political, artistic and architectural conditions.

The Lecture presented Friedman in the context of the 1960s architecture and urban planning avant-garde, namely the megastructuralists. The visionary drawings and projects for 'Ville Spatiale', developed by Friedman and other GEAM (Group etudes d’Architektur Mobile) members were based on their ideas of flexible infrastructure and mobile living forms on the upper level of the city that users and inhabitants could shape at their own discretion. A main goal of Friedman’s participatory design was to reduce the decision making function of the planners/architects to a minimum by assigning them to the role of being “mediators” who made their technical practices available to inhabitants willing to decide on the design of their dwellings by themselves.
