about the lecture
In For Your Consideration, Molly Hunker will present recent design work that explores the elasticity of the built environment - in other words, how we might understand the breadth and malleability of the material experiences, cultural meanings, and social potential of the world we live in. Through work ranging from public space interventions to novel architectural representation to the protocols of practice, this lecture will look at the possibility for the spaces, objects, and systems of design to operate in a multitude of ways and expand the audience of architecture and design.
