Docu-Dramas: Let's Talk After the Performance

Event, in English, online, 1 April 2021, 2pm

Docu-dramas presents contemporary architects talking about their work, through the kinds of images they would normally exclude from a lecture: ordinary documents like contracts, budgets, estimates, SMS and chat messages, research and administrative files. Narrated, these dull objects can become evidence for the complex and contingent reality of architectural practice embedded in a messy world.

We invited five contemporary practices active in different contexts and at different scales of project and budget to present their work through the documents they would normally not show. You can watch their talks here.

To conclude the series, all five firms join us for a live chat about the experience of looking at themselves through the mirrors of their own archives.

Please register here. You can also watch the YouTube stream, but it will be easier to ask questions over zoom.
