Lacaton & Vassal – Living Space with a Future

14 January 2016, 6 pm, Vitra Design Museum

The Parisians Anne Lacaton und Jean-Philippe Vassal are among the key proponents of a pragmatic yet highly figurative architecture that questions the economic and ecological foundations of building. For them, the primary tasks of an architect consist first of creating freedom and generous, comfortable and pleasant living conditions. Thanks to simple industrial materials, they create cost-effective but architecturally high-quality living spaces. Anne Lacaton presents her internationally renowned housing projects and demonstrates the innovative power of her architectural philosophy. The event will be held in English. Free admission
