AIA Hong Kong - Curating Architecture as Knowledge Production with Shirley Surya
When: Thursday 13 May 2021 @ 07:30 (Eastern US time)/ 19:30 (Hong Kong time)
CES Credits - 2.0 LU for AIA Members
Speaker: Shirley Surya, Curator for Designa dn Architecture at M+
Description:
We often think about contemporary architecture in terms of its immediate impact, its hardware or software, plain or covert political objectives and so on. It is only when we have a bit of distance that we can then talk about its contribution to Architecture, vis-à-vis the works' impact on the profession, on a city's image, so on and so forth.
In Curating Architecture as Knowledge Production, Shirley Surya will discuss her work on curating Architecture as a geographically specific yet transnational design and historical project. We will be treated to her perspective on collecting architectural works as points for introspection, conjectures, and perhaps even validation - and just in time as Hong Kong gains new narratives through the M+ Design and Architecture collection.
