About the event
March 13th (Neeb Hall)
Sandra Barclay and the Barclay & Crousse studio consider their work as ongoing research, in which each project informs the next one in terms of hypothesis, strategies, and building processes. In each project the Barclay & Crousse studio explores the bonds between culture, territory, climate, place, and technology, constituting the main ingredients at their disposal. Working with what is available helps the Barclay & Crousse studio formulate good questions about the means they have to engage and the meaning that our buildings will convey. In the same way, the German scientist Alexander Von Humboldt was the first European to realize that the section, and not the plan, is the only way to understand the central Andes region, Sandra Barclay shows all of their projects through sections and not plans.
