Workshop and talk: Architecture in the More-Than-Human World

Workshop and talk

Join us for a vibrant event inspired by our upcoming exhibition More than Human, bringing together art, science and radical thinking to ask how design can help our planet thrive by shifting its focus beyond human needs.

Buildings are never constructed on a blank site, even if it may seem so, but always into a complex web of entangled life. How can we build while simultaneously respecting all life?

Join Elina Koivisto and Maiju Suomi of Suomi/Koivisto Architects for a talk unpacking how their work creates enjoyable living environments for both humans and non-human beings. This will be followed by a workshop where we will slow down to listen and follow the movements of the more-than-human world. Who do we share this space with? What kinds of feelings and thoughts does this encounter raise?

Please note that the workshop will take participants outside the museum, into the Dame Sylvia Crowe Garden and Holland Park. Please let us know if you have access requirements or want further information. The workshop requires focused presence, so we kindly ask that participants join us on time.
