Designing at a Distance: A Panel Discussion on Architecture, March 3
Please join us on March 3, 6:30 – 9:00 pm, for the following event we are co-hosting with the Rhode Island School of Design:
'Designing at a Distance' is a panel discussion on the ways in which architecture operates at a cultural remove, both as an academic exercise and as the basis for an understanding of the predictive and evaluative tools that the architectural profession uses on the way from design to completed building. Student work from the Rhode Island School of Design architecture studio 'Designing at a Distance: a School in Lausanne' offers the platform for direct consideration of the differences between Swiss and American teaching methods in architecture, and of the ways in which an architect comes to know the site in which she or he is working. More general consideration of the way in which the architectural artifact balances problems of authorship, production and reception will conclude the discussion. Discussants are: Kurt Forster (Yale University), Sylvain Malfroy (Zürcher Hochschule Winterthur), Roberto de Oliviera Castro (over,under, Boston) and Lynnette Widder (Rhode Island School of Design).
The event is free and open to the public. Please RSVP to Anina.
