The Education of an Architect: Robust Guesswork

This event is part of The Shadow Series organised by John Andrews & Maria Theodorou With the support of Membership Office.

The Shadow Series is set to explore the potential of the peripheral condition the AA’s numerous members and alumni hold in relation to the school itself. Since they do not need to adjust to its educational demands and are in no way involved with its running, AA members and alumni occupy the privileged status of the off. The series intends to turn the (usually) shadow condition of the members/alumni into a shadowing force that debates architecture at the present scale of an expanded AA. Unlike the global school, in which the AA ventures across a variety of locations, the shadow series is an intimate event at the institution’s core that assembles the AA’s bodies, humours and brains into debating current architecture issues and processes. Every third Thursday of each month at 19.00 – 20.30, shadows of ‘the Architectural Present we have never been in’ will be cast by AA members on a variety of topics.
