Both architecture and philosophy stand for the attempt to merge the complexity of the world into an encyclopedic knowledge.

Correspondingly, the dialogue between architect and philosopher goes a long way back.

The debate between the Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and the German philosopher Peter Sloterdijk falls into this long tradition.

A tour d'horizon moderated by the architecture theoretician Stephan Trüby is to be expected; a conversation about biographies and ambitions, about metropolises and escapisms, about sustainability and futurology, about Europe and crises.

Early next year, the debate between Rem Koolhaas and Peter Sloterdijk will be reflected upon in a round table discussion which is part of ANCB's Design & Poltics series.
