Lecture Overview
Titled "Interventions Instead of Inventions," this lecture will delve into innovative ways of engaging with existing buildings and established contexts. Hollanders will explore themes that guide architectural decisions, the role of collective memory in shaping design, and the critical choices of what to include or omit in architectural representation.
This is an exciting opportunity to engage in a dialogue on how architects can work thoughtfully within the constraints of history and context while creating meaningful interventions.
