Description

How as architects do we balance pragmatism with inventiveness, and negotiate the challenge of the building project? In a presentation led by Principal Kim Yao, FAIA, learn how Architecture Research Office integrates research with their design process to consistently achieve high-quality design that elevates people and place. The lecture will address the importance of collaboration and engagement in achieving transformative architecture and will explore the firm’s diverse past and present work and design methodology. Each attendee will gain an understanding of varied ways research can underpin and complement practice.
