Madlen participates as discussant in the panel "Holding the Disparate Together: Exploring the Connective Tissue of Built Environments" convened by Laurin Baumgardt (EPFL) at the conference "STS-CH 2025" in Zürich. The panel convener writes: Starting with Karen Barad’s observation that one can "think the ‘holding together’ of the disparate itself” (2014), this panel reflects on how heterogeneous components and entities contain and retain a type of cohesiveness, adhesiveness, or persistence over time. It particularly invites scholars of architectural practices and built environments to explore how disparate knowledges, techniques, senses, materials, and actors come and hold together in the production and maintenance of architectures.
