Talk: ‘Cultural Infrastructure: The Synthetic Ideal’

Alison Brooks gave a lecture at the AA entitled Cultural Infrastructure: The Synthetic Ideal

“Alison Brooks Architects is positioned at the vanguard of a new generation of contemporary British architects committed to housing as a social project, as a source of programme-rich urban design and as a field for architectural experimentation. We see housing as a form of simultaneous architecture. Each project must operate as background infrastructure (urban, social, economic) and as cultural artefact specific to place, ways of life and local culture. We fight for the idiosyncratic: combining pragmatism, artistic intent and spatial subterfuge to unlock the potential of typologies to become new prototypes. AND not OR. City AND suburb.”
