Lecture by Architect Michele De Lucchi: The Equation In Collaboration with DesignZ at SUTD

An inspirational reflection that evolves from the Earth Stations research project, Architect Michele will discuss the definition of a new attitude and a new philosophy of intervention on nature, that has taken shape into an "equation". In this lecture, Architect Michele will delve into the roles and responsibilities of architects and designers: Who are we designers? What can we answer when asked to build something new? Why should we take up more space of the little left on the planet?

He analyses the paradigm of the relationship between the need to work on environmental installations and the human factor of change and the fine balance between man and nature, and then the question of the measure of the responsibility and social role of the architect in undertaking meaningful projects.

The Equation will be held on 30 September 2024 from 5.30pm to 7.00pm at LT5, Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD).
