Architecture Speaks event series is here again! Join us for a journey through interesting topics and knowledgeable speakers.
Architecture Speaks
Every construction deconstructs elsewhere; materials are territories carried into form. The task of architecture is to create a positive balance where structures give back more than they take. Architecture, once born of shelter and survival, must again learn from nature’s cycles of efficiency and renewal. Architecture stands at the intersection of structure and resources, where every act of construction echoes far beyond its site.
In the eleventh season of the Architecture Speaks lecture series Professor and Head of department of Architecture Jenni Reuter invites six architects to share insights into their design processes and their roles in the world of architecture. The theme of this season is Structures and Resources.
Series organized together with the Architecture & Design Museum and Aalto University.
