Bryony Roberts discusses Intervention as a strategy for radically transforming existing architecture. Operating between art, architecture, preservation, and critical theory, her practice creates new spatial conditions through permutations to the structural and programmatic logic of found buildings. She talks specifically about the project "Inverting Neutra" as well as a recent conference on contemporary art interventions into modern architecture.
BRYONY ROBERTS
is an architectural designer and principal of the research and design practice Bryony Roberts Studio, based in Los Angeles and Oslo. Roberts earned her B.A. from Yale University and her M.Arch from Princeton University, and worked in the offices of WORKac in New York and Mansilla + Tunon in Madrid before starting her own practice in 2011. Her practice develops radical strategies for preservation and reuse, with a focus on the transformation of postwar modern architecture. In addition to design projects, Roberts is committed to research and publication; she recently guest-edited the architectural journal Log on the topic "New Ancients" and has published her writing in Log, Pidgin, and Architectural Record. She taught as a Wortham Teaching Fellow at the Rice School of Architecture from 2011-2013, and at SCI-Arc in Los Angeles from 2013-2014. She is now an Assistant Professor at the Oslo School of Architecture in Norway.
...AS PROJECT
This event is the second installment in a lecture series in the KTH School of Architecture's programme of public Thursday events. Under the shared headline '… as project', guest 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 opening up a wider conversation on the notion of "the project" in architecture. Sometimes taken for granted as simply a synonym for a building or an unrealised design, "the project" will in this setting be scrutinized in its own right.
