Description/Abstract

Everyday urban space has become an important topic of discussion over the last several years. After weathering a storm of avant-garde ideas and technology, architecture has begun to return to more down-to-earth concerns. This lecture explores the ways Drawing Architecture Studio has made the “everyday” and vernacular architecture an important part of their practice, research and teaching.
