Architects, not architecture |
Architects, not Architecture (AnA) is an interesting series that showcases the personalities behind the big names. AnA sheds light on the enormous influences in the practice of architecture that are normally left in the shadows, and now has a global audience.
The AnA team is hosting a series of online events in 2020, in English and German. Go behind the scenes with world-renowned architects – not with their projects, but instead their experiences and inspirations. |
