THIS LECTURE WILL BE TAKING PLACE TONIGHT AS PLANNED.

 

Junya Ishigami will present his competition entry and first completed building, the Facility at Kanagawa Institute of Technology. The work of this Japanese practice has included gallery installations and the design of the Japanese Pavilion at the 2008 Venice Biennale.

 

Gisle Løkken, founding partner, will discuss how, through experimentation and dialogue 70°N arkitektur has developed projects which span a broad spectrum of architectural practice; buildings, landscape, urbanism, processes, theory, collaboration and participation. Architectural competitions have been an important arena for the Norwegian office's critical and committed approach in the public debate concerning urbanism and regional planning.
