Royal Academy: Meaning in Material
Katie's presentation will form part of the session on Material Concerns: A New Dilemma or Age-old Question? on the 20th October (part of a series of three.
Background:
Materials give architecture its form and substance, with implications on both conceptual and experiential levels. In what ways can a discussion about materials evolve and remain relevant today, particularly as ‘value engineering’ takes an ever-increasing role in building design and construction? How might this discussion be shaped by new developments in material technologies, or by emerging economic, environmental and cultural factors?
Artists, engineers, historians, theorists and architects consider these questions across a programme of salons, happenings and displays, to interrogate the contemporary relationship between architecture and materials. Organised by the RA Architecture Programme in collaboration with P.E.A.R. (Paper for Emerging Architectural Research)
