ASSEMBLE.- "Learning through making" in Madrid

For those who do not know, the Assemble group, was awarded with the last Turner Prize of the arts, in December, the most prestigious art prize in the UK, worth £ 40,000.

Whenever happens more often, the response of the collective of architects is permeating everything and even major art prizes in the world. Yesterday the Turner Prize jury consolidated, a path which can also be seen in the results of Europan-Spain 13. The jury brandished the following afirmación.-

"In an age in which everything can be art why not consider itself a complex of social housing?".

The event will feature a presentation by Alice Edgerley, Assemble team member. The group, composed of 18 members, began working in 2010, with a methodology that seeks to address the traditional disconnect between the public and the process by which the places are transformed. Assemble advocates a collaborative way of working and interdependent that actively seeks to involve the public as well as participating as a partner in carrying out the work in progress. In 2015 they were awarded the Turner Prize for his project Granby Four Streets.

Collective offered today at 19:00 h. at the College of Architects of Madrid (COAM), a conference entitled "Learning through making". The group, based in London and dedicated to architecture and other aspects of design, visit Madrid to participate in the Cultural Week of the School of Engineering - Architecture Nebrija University in which this meeting is part.
