Manuelle Gautrand – Bartlett International Lecture Series

Beyond the Brief

Lecturer's Abstract 

Manuelle discusses the emotion of architecture; that of discovering a place which surprises, where one feels good, where beauty is present. 

Going beyond the basic functions of a building, there is what cannot be measured: the generosity of collective spaces, the unexpected features of projects which are added on and which were not planned, the beauty of volumes ready to experience informal ideas and an ownership that cannot be anticipated.
