Abstract
This Wednesday we are so excited to welcome Jane Hall and Giles Smith of ‘Assemble’, the Turner Prize winning architectural collective, for the launch of two new books. Common treasures is a dual volume exploring the challenges faced by rural communities, written by people who are working on the land and in the fields. We will be hearing from co-editor Giles Smith about the process of researching and writing these volumes, which broadly address ‘Land, food and farming’, and ‘Housing, planning and construction’.
The wonderful Jane Hall will be speaking to us about Assemble’s recently published monograph. This exciting book is the result of extensive conversations between the group and architecture critic Aaron Betsky, bringing together their most significant projects to date through photographs, drawings and their own words.
Join us in Scroope Studio for an evening of conversations
Series This talk is part of the ARCSOC Conversations series.
