Spring

Emerging Architecture: Anna Heringer + DSDHA

10 February 2009

6:30 PM - 8:00 PM

Venue:

66 Portland Place, London W1B 1AD

Description:

Anna Heringer will present projects that are the results of a hands-on workshop for students conducted in a remote rural area of Bangladesh. Because the budget and available materials were limited, the students were forced to concentrate on the basic needs of the clients and create intelligent designs that made the most of the existing resources. The resulting architecture reflects a pureness of form and material. "Our goal was to create a fresh architecture with regional identity that inspires villagers to create contemporary, modern structures using their traditional building materials."

 

DSDHA is a London practice established by David Hills and Deborah Saunt. Their work blurs the boundaries between landscape and architecture, art and urbanism, and questions preconceptions of the city. Their growing international profile includes the Silver Building, Soho, a gateway building for the London 2012 Athletes Village and the re-design of Parliament Square, London.
