Join us on Wednesday, April 7th for a conversation with Jessie Andjelic: Architect, Urbanist, Educator & founding partner of SPECTACLE Bureau for Architecture and Urbanism.
Architecture is both evolutionary and revolutionary; it reflects its immediate contemporary context while at the same time speculates on possible futures. This work is preoccupied with how built form can both respond to and anticipate shifts. These shifts, whether related to economics, domesticity, power, etc. represent instabilities that are ripe for projective architectural practice to intervene and innovate. Like vestigial organs provide evidence for evolution, architectural typologies are transformed, mutated and hybridized to energize and invigorate outdated modes. We move forward by understanding how we’ve changed.
