In Association With Material Matters:

Lots of architects claim that they 'craft' a building. They point at beautiful clay or paper models but in reality architecture is produced through Revit and follows strict rules of compliance and regulation. Materials are a great way to connect buildings and craft together, however, are people really convinced that a corporate office is baked in a kiln? And what about craftspeople themselves? What is their role in the design and construction of buildings? Surely they could help create spaces that are humane, tactile and desirable and yet the such considerations don’t seem to be part of the process until it's all too late, if at all. Join us for an evening of discussion about craft and architecture, or should it be craft vs architecture?
