Manuel Aires-Mateus: Latest Works
The 23rd Arthur H. Schein Lecture
The work of the studio is very diversified in its fields of operation. Different programs pose distinct questions and challenges and produce unique projects. The method of creating and designing is similar but due to the changing specificities of the buildings that are commissioned, that is not easily displayable.
Manuel will be presenting an array of projects that share roughly the same program: houses. From the uniqueness of each example presented, it is possible to infer the contribution that each condition produces in the development of a project. These are often the most emotional and rewarding exercises as these are typologies that we all know since childhood and where the clients are more involved. It will be a display of differences in order to reason about the common grounds.
