NANOTECTURE: TINY BUILT THINGS

5 Apr 2016

Riba, Royal Institute Of British Architects
London W1B 1AD

Overview

Join author and architecture writer Rebecca Roke when she talks about her new book: 'Nanotecture: Tiny Built Things'. Nanotecture illustrates how internationally established and emerging architects embrace the freedom to experiment with materials and design concepts when working on a small scale. Roke will explore the concept through some of the best examples of the last decade including pavilions, installations, sheds, cabins and tree houses, homes for dogs, cats and bees, and portable inflatable and flat-packed structures, each accompanied by a colour image and short text. Speakers include: Rebecca Roke (author). Yael Reisner (architect, designer, academic, researcher and writer) Darren Bray (Associate Director at Pad Studio Architects, RIBA Emerging Architects of the Year in 2014) Nina Tolstrup (Danish designer based in London)
