Cultural Buildings’ Genealogy of Originality: The Individual, the Unique and the Singular

Architect, urban designer and AA educator Pavlos Philippou will address how cultural buildings have proliferated as keystones of urban development and regeneration strategies. From both an historical and performative dimension, there is a consistent attempt to problematise these buildings as unique, distinctive and novel. Through a series of case studies, this lecture proposes to investigate the continuities but also the dynamism and differentiation that architecture brings to the urban field.
