Royal Academy of Arts, Summer Exhibition Architecture Afternoon

This year’s Architecture Room, as curated by Assemble, will explore ideas around "spaces for making". Throughout the afternoon, you’ll hear from architects, both established and emerging, as they discuss making spaces and the importance of studios in the design and production processes.

Speakers include Graham Oram, presenting Associate Professor Victoria Browne's artistic research investigating material empathy in the manufacturing of a multi-block hand printed wallcovering.
In between presentations, there will be opportunities to join in the discussion. To close the event, Grant Gibson will be interviewing members of Assemble RA.
