BIGHeat-31.jpgArchitecture never happens in the clinical conditions of a lab. It is always responding to a series of existing conditions – the context, the culture, the landscape, the climate. Our climate is the one thing architects can’t escape – the one condition architecture always must respond to. Bjarke Ingels, founding principal of BIG, explores how architecture evolves in response to its context and climate and as an artistic contemplation of how life in return reacts to the framework created by architecture. After, he discusses this process with Susan Piedmont-Palladino, curator of HOT TO COLD: an odyssey of architectural adaptation. The exhibition will be open to attendees prior to the program.
