Agents of Architecture
The National College of Art and Design, Dublin
First talk with Beatrice Galilee, Curator Lisbon Architecture Triennale
A series of talks aimed at expanding the public's understanding of the wider role of architecture in society is being curated by the Irish Architecture Foundation, in partnership with IMMA, in a number of venues in Dublin over the coming months. Agents of Architecture marks IMMA's use of the exhibition spaces at the National Concert Hall site in Earlsfort Terrace, beginning on 31 May next. High profile national and international speakers have been invited as agents of architecture to represent their involvement in the subject, their understanding of its definition, from the typical to the most un-orthodox views. The series aims to uncover architecture's impact on society, analyse architecture's connection to culture, and reveal new critical approaches to engaging audiences. Beatrice Galilee is a London-based curator, writer, critic, consultant and lecturer in contemporary architecture and design. She specialises in the dissemination of architecture through media, curatorial practice, research, editing and teaching. She is the Chief Curator for the 2013 Lisbon Architecture Triennale, co-founder and director of The Gopher Hole, an exhibition and event space in London, architectural consultant and writer at DomusWeb, and associate lecturer at Central St Martins. She was a curator at the 2011 Gwangju Design Biennale in Korea, directed by Ai Wei Wei and Seung H-Sang, and is a freelance contributor to a number of international publications on architecture and design. At 7.30pm, booking is essential, tickets are free and available online. Galilee's presentation is followed by a chaired discussion with Andrew Griffin, Architect JDS Architects, Copenhagen.
