Annette Fierro and Ariel Genadt to Present at Archigram Symposium

Associate Professor Annette Fierro and Lecturer Ariel Genadt will each present research at the M+ Matters: Archigram Cities Online Symposium this month. 

Organized with the Department of Architecture at University of Hong Kong, the symposium "reappraises Archigram through interpretations of the group’s work in relation to the histories and practice of architecture and urbanism across a wider set of geographies."

Formed in London in the 1960s, Archigram was a radical architectural group comprised of Warren Chalk, Peter Cook, Dennis Crompton, David Greene, Ron Herron, and Michael Web. 

Fierro's presentation, "Housing Subjectivities: From the LCC to Uncle Wilf," will be shared during the "Inhabitations" session on Tuesday, November 3, at 9pm EST.

Fierro regularly teaches an elective course on the innovative group titled "Archigram and Its Legacy: London, A Technotopia." She recently gave the introduction to Archigram co-founder Michael Webb's lecture as part of the Department of Architecture's lecture series. 

Genadt's presentation, "Dismantling Architecture! Archigram and Isozaki ca.1970," will be shared during the "Transmissions" session on Tuesday, November 10, at 6:30am EST.

 In 2018, the Department of Architecture hosted Archigram co-founder Peter Cook for a lecture and series of workshops for first year MArch students.
