ALFREDO BRILLEMBOURG: 'EMPOWER SHACK AS PROJECT'

Guest lecture by Alfredo Brillembourg, architect, founding partner of Urban-Think Tank and chair for Architecture & Urban Design at ETH Zürich. The event is part of the series ‘...as project’ and co-hosted with Civitas Athaneum Laboratory, KTH-ABE.
ALFREDO BRILLEMBOURG
was born in New York. He received his Bachelor of Art and Architecture in 1984 and his Master of Science in Architectural Design in 1986 from Columbia University. Alfredo Brillembourg is a founding partner of Urban-Think Tank (U-TT), an interdisciplinary design practice dedicated to high-level research and design on a variety of subjects, concerned with contemporary architecture and urbanism. The philosophy of U-TT is to deliver innovative yet practical solutions through the combined skills of architects, civil engineers, environmental planners, landscape architects, and communication specialists.
'...AS PROJECT' LECTURE SERIES
This event is the last installment of the lecture series ...as project at the KTH School of Architecture, preceded by talks by Jing Liu of SO-IL, Bryony Roberts, Jonas Dahlberg, Alastair Parvin of WikiHouse and Jorge-Otero-Pailos. For the series, the speakers are invited to present one specific project in great depth and detail. The aim of the series is twofold. Firstly, rather than rushing through a practice's complete ouevre, the ambition is to provide an apportunity for a closer look at, and a deeper understanding of, a single work of architecture. Secondly, the series as a whole is an attempt at instigating a wider conversation on the notion of "the project" in architecture. Throughout the series, the ambition is to open inquiries into design and construction processes, contextual settings, singularity vs continuity of practice, client relations, post-occupancy, and so forth.
