Event 2: A New Residential Landscape - The 2011 Wallpaper* Architects Directory at the AF

Event information

As part of the exhibition programme, Wallpaper* and the AF have invited a selection of the practices from the 2011 Directory to take part in a series of talks, using the theme of built/unbuilt to explore the relationship between real world commissions and the ideas and approaches that arose out of the open brief for the Directory commission.

Each event will involve three of the 2011 Architects Directory participants, one UK-based and two non-UK based. The talks will explore the ongoing role and relevance of conceptual design and fantasy architecture. Prompted by a presentation of their design for an ‘ideal retreat' produced for this year's directory, the architects will be invited to a further discussion about conceptual and ‘imaginary' architecture and its advantages - how conceptual design may or may not feed ‘real' architecture in terms of form, technique, strategy and material.

Participants will be revealed at the exhibition's opening.

Concessionary tickets are EXCLUSIVELY for AF members.
Students, over 65s and unemployed are eligible for free AF membership.
