The Modern Gazetteer
The Modern Gazetteer are archivists of the city. The collective making of the gazetteer offers a taxonomy of the modern condition, framing a contemporary idea of the civic. Architecture is constituted by an ensemble of tradition and rituals, where that tradition is alive.


GRAFTING
a series of talks on the material expression of construction, economy in making and building, contemporary ideas of the ‘applied arts’, projects where new has been somehow ‘grafted’ onto old, and the very real and pressing need for architecture and construction to take the lead on tackling climate change.
