N.A.W. Takeover: The second cohort of the New Architecture Writers present a month-long digital takeover from 01 – 30 October 2020 of exploring the changing nature of architectural criticism.
Since its publication in 2007, Matthew Frederick’s ‘101 Things I Learned in Architecture School’ has become a household classic to those who study and practice architecture. However, what happens when it is read and analysed through the lens of race, class and the unique problems of the current age that students and practitioners face? In the final part of the N.A.W. Takeover, the cohort hold a reading group to reflect on this classic.
This event was hosted by N.A.W. Members Nasra Abdullahi, Shawn Adams, Nana Biamah-Ofosu, Lois Innes and Ewa Effiom, and streamed live on Thursday 22 October 2020.
