Exhibition Tour | Lacaton & Vassal: Living in the City

When:12pm Saturday 23 September

Where: Tin Sheds Gallery, 148 City Road, Darlington Sydney, NSW

Lacaton & Vassal: Living in the City presents three years of teaching and research framed by inaugural Rothwell co-chairs Anne Lacaton & Jean-Philippe Vassal at the University of Sydney School of Architecture, Design, and Planning. The exhibition illuminates a method based on close attention, transformation rather than demolition, and provision of the highest quality of living space. It foregrounds a critical priority for the Pritzker Prize-winning French architects: Urbanism begins inside each apartment, with quality housing for everyone. Join curators Hannes Frykholm and Catherine Lassen for a tour of the exhibition followed by a discussion.
