The AF is pleased to announce the launch of ‘And the Winner is...?’ a new series of critical explorations into architecture's cultural systems for generating, assessing, and presenting projects to the public.
The three-part series, which will explore who the real winners are from the ever growing numbers of architecture competitions, awards and festivals, will be held at a range of off site venues, with the first event Competitive Advantages? - a discussion and investigation into architectural competitions - taking place at the new Central St Martins campus.
Competitive Advantages? will see an international panel of speakers presenting their positions towards, and experiences gained from, architectural competitions – from the perspectives of architect, organiser and client.
Speakers will include:
Dr. Nina Berre, Director of Architecture, National Museum, Oslo, Norway
Richard Brindley, Executive Director, Professional Services, RIBA
Silvia Forlati, Founding Member at Wonderland, Principal at SHARE architects
Moira Gemmill, Director of Projects, Design and Estate, Victoria & Albert Museum
