CONSTRUCTING (unorthodox) PRACTICE - with Forty Five Degrees

About this event

Columbia GSAPP brings twelve international architecture practices together to discuss how they establish and develop their work. Organized by Juan Herreros, the symposium covers materials, spatial approaches, ecology and expanded forms of practice.

Berlin-based Forty Five Degrees is represented by Alkistis Thomidou and Berta Gutiérrez Casaos in the 4:45 p.m. panel, moderated by Lydia Kallipoliti. This provides the event’s German professional connection.
