Neri&Hu is an award-winning interdisciplinary practice based in Shanghai. Founded by Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu in 2004, the practice has since built up their own distinct approach to architecture that pushes beyond traditional boundaries to incorporate interior, product and graphic design.

Founded in Denmark in 1986, 3XN are known for projects grounded in the application of ongoing research into how human behaviour both reflects and influences buildings and the wider environment. In 2007 3XN founded a sister company GXN dedicated to innovative research into circular design, behaviour design and digital design. In this lecture we will be joined by behavioural specialist and Head of Operations Susan Carruth and Architect and Senior Partner Audun Opdal, who will show us how GXN’s research is directly fed into the work of 3XN to create some of the most innovative buildings in the world.

Architect and 2019 TIME100 Honoree Jeanne Gang leads international architecture and urban design practice Studio Gang. Her award-winning practice emphasises research, experimentation and collaboration resulting in a diverse body of work. Projects range from cultural centres, to high rise towers and installations, as described in a new comprehensive monograph, published by Phaidon.

Africa like the rest of the world has a rich built heritage that faces the ever-present danger of extinction due to lack of documentation, conflict and gentrification. This lecture hopes to spotlight the gaps yet to be bridged in our public knowledge of endangered buildings in Africa and in fact, other parts of the world.

MONTAGSREIHE is a series of lectures by the Faculty of Architecture at the Technical University of Munich. The series sees itself as an enriching contribution to the Munich architecture discourse between architects, students, and those interested in architecture.

A prolific architect, trailblazing city planner, and civic and cultural leader, Daniel Burnham has been described by contemporaries and biographers as both a pragmatic realist and a visionary idealist. CAC docent Marcia Matavulj dives into this apparent contradiction by exploring Burnham’s architectural practice during Chicago’s fast-moving progression from short buildings with load-bearing walls to steel-framed skyscrapers never seen before.

In this Nesta Talks To conversation, Sendra and Sennett will propose a reorganisation of how we think and plan the social life of our cities. ‘Infrastructures of disorder’ combine architecture, politics, urban planning and activism in order to develop places that nurture rather than stifle, bring together rather than divide up, remain open to change rather than closed off.

This virtual tour highlights famous and lesser-known buildings in downtown Chicago designed by women architects including Studio Gang’s Aqua Tower and Vista Tower, and the International Style landmark 401 North Michigan, completed in 1965 as the Equitable Building and designed in part by Natalie Griffin de Blois of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill.

In this Nesta Talks To conversation, Leslie Kern exposes the social inequalities that are built into our cities, homes, and neighborhoods, and offers an alternative vision. It is time to dismantle what we take for granted about cities and to ask how we can build more just, sustainable, and careful cities together.
