Architecture is always an economic matter. A conscious economy of means is as essential to shaping a work of architecture as it is to the discipline’s ability to productively operate within, and contribute to, reality more broadly.
Economy Class is a one day symposium curated by Richard Hall which featured contributions about the various economies at play around and within architecture.
Richard Hall is a senior associate at East. His work encompasses a breadth of design projects and research activities concerned with architecture and the city. He has taught at London Metropolitan University, as well as lecturing and leading workshops internationally. He was educated at the Leicester School of Architecture, London Metropolitan University and the AA, and previously worked at OMA.
