Ascensions is a series of intergenerational conversations between RCA School of Architecture alumni.
For the sixth – and final – event for Ascensions, we are bringing together four graduates from the RCA School of Architecture: Fergus Feilden (Feilden Fowles), Jane Hall (Assemble), Stephanie Macdonald (6a) and Sohanna Srinivasan.
In this series, we’ve thought around and beyond “building” to develop conversations on spatial practice that are generative, innovative, and emancipatory. And yet, we have a disciplinary commitment we still want to foster, not for sake of tradition or conformity, but for a faith in good architectural design that has a weight, a form and a force worth sustaining.
Fergus, Jane, Steph and Sohanna are back in the building to discuss their grounds and horizons and the ways in which the spirit of the RCA School of Architecture has informed and inspired their ongoing and future practice. Our guests will think through their work in both image and sound, and the ways they’ve engaged with the nuts and bolts of building buildings through detail and construction, clients and the council, materials and resources, labour and practice, landscape and climate.
Held in the more informal, seminal setting of the ArtBar/Lounge, where some of the best ideas and deepest connections tend to come about, and to create a more discursive atmosphere; we want to talk, think, play some music and collectively be together.
The event organisers are Thomas Aquilina and Charlotte Grace.
