Event description

Join us from 6:30pm for refreshments to celebrate the opening of PRS Europe November 2024, followed by our official welcome by PRS Europe Chair, A/Prof Paul Minifie and Dr Marta Fernandez, Executive Director RMIT Europe. This will be followed by a keynote address by Professor Anna Puigjaner.


Professor Anna Puigjaner, co-founder of Barcelona based architecture studio MAIO, will share her approach to creating new architectural models for the practice of collective living and care that are re-imagining how we live. 

Anna Puigjaner will present new models for collective living and care practices that take as their starting point, collective kitchens, shared social space and service areas. Through her design practice she believes that collective life is ‘deeply understood as a tool for social transformation’ and can be delivered through the re-imagination of domestic space. Puigjaner will be joined by the Powerhouse’s Xinyi Lim for a discussion on their shared commitment to the importance of collective living. 


Professor Anna Puigjaner is an architect, researcher and co-founder of MAIO, an architectural office based in Barcelona specialising in spatial systems that evolve over time. MAIO has exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art (New York), Guggenheim Bilbao, the Venice Biennale and the Chicago Architecture Biennale. Her research project Kitchenless City: Architectural Systems for Social Welfare was awarded a Harvard Graduate School of Design Wheelwright Prize. She is currently Professor of Architecture and Care at ETH Zürich.
