Dietmar Hornung – Europe’s Sovereign Debt Crisis
Europe’s Sovereign Debt Crisis 14 Jun 2010 About the Event: Governments across Europe are responding to market concerns over their public debt levels by implementing harsh austerity programmes and formulating unprecedented joint policy actions. At this seminar, jointly organised by the IIEA and the Law Society of Ireland’s EU & International Affairs Committee, an expert panel evaluated the politico-economic context of the current crisis, its implications for the Euro and the EU, and its potential impact on the global economy. Dietmar Hornung delivered an outlook on European sovereigns which argued that profound and sustained austerity measures were crucial to exiting the current crisis. Ann Pettifor, deploying Keynesian economic arguments, countered Mr Hornung’s perspective, insisting that it was futile to try to bring down debt levels without first investing to ensure economic growth. Lee C. Buchheit, focusing on Greece, explored scenarios that would demand a “Plan B” and shared his thoughts on what such a plan might entail. About the Speakers: Lee C.

Shifting Ground: Peter Zumthor and the Urbanization of the Alps
Projects in the Swiss Alps such as the chapel of Sogn Benedetdg in Sumvitg (1987) and the Thermal Bath in Vals (1996) shaped the image of Peter Zumthor as a quasi-romanticist, anti-urban architect working in remote areas, far away from the hubs of modern life, in a seemingly untouched natural context. What if this image is wrong? Can an analysis of the economic context and the exploitation of the Alps in the late 20th century by the tourist and energy industry help to revise this image? Was Henri Lefebvre right with his prophecy of the “complete urbanization”? Philip Ursprung is Professor for Modern and Contemporary Art at the University of Zurich.
