Forms of Shelter

"The Shelter" talk examines the evolving concept of shelter across ages and disciplines. Tomassoni and Srouji delve into how artists, architects, theorists, and poets have interpreted this fundamental human need. The discussion highlights their latest projects and examines successful integrations of architecture, the built environment, and nature in providing sanctuary for individuals and communities. The speakers will explore a range of interpretations, from physical constructs to idealistic projects aimed at providing decompression spaces, and escapes from the relentless pace of communication and information. Insights are drawn from both their extensive study and practical experience.
