Description
A quartet of European architects and urbanists will each discuss a single project that they have designed and followed through to completion. The in-depth review will start with the commission, program, underlying concepts, design development, planning, architecture, execution, and post-occupancy evaluation. Although much appreciated by users and the general public, the subtext is the universal objection to traditional architecture and town planning by the design professions. The session will illuminate the mastery of these architects in realizing beautiful projects and their creative work-arounds to overcome archaic codes, opposition from peers, and the overwhelming bias toward the zeitgeist and modernism architecture.
