Work-Place is an environment created from an iterative process, in which ideas are explored through the production of large-scale mock-ups, models, material studies, sketches and drawings. Projects are developed through careful consideration of place and a practice that draws from traditional skills, local building techniques and materials, as well as an ingenuity that arises from limited resources. Inspired by real life conditions, these architectural studies allow practitioners to see the complex relationships within projects while also freely responding and adapting through the practice of making.
This lecture will address the need for an architecture that emerges through collective dialogue, imagination, intimacy and modesty.
