An Evening with Assemble
London-based architecture collective Assemble has emerged as one of the most unorthodox and innovative practices of recent times. As recipients of the prestigious Turner Prize in 2015, their socially engaged projects have garnered attention from the fields of art and architecture alike.
Join us for a timely and compelling conversation about Assemble’s enterprising strategies, alternative approaches to building, and spatial tactics for social activism.
Panelists include: Fran Edgerley and Paloma Strelitz (Assemble); William Menking (Editor-in-Chief, The Architect’s Newspaper), Michael Meredith (Partner, MOS Architects), Esther Choi (Assistant Professor, OCAD University), Martino Stierli (The Philip Johnson Chief Curator of Architecture and Design, MoMA), and Sean Anderson (Associate Curator of Architecture and Design, MoMA).
