The Building is a five-year project led by José Aragüez between 2014 and 2018. It is generally described in international circles as one of the most significant contributions to architectural discourse in the 21st century.
It was launched through two symposia in 2014—held at the Architectural Association in June, and Columbia University in November—and a theory seminar at Cornell University in Fall 2015. The two events brought together a number of historians, theorists, architects, and PhD candidates from both Europe and the U.S. for an exchange around the problem of architectural thinking as a form of knowledge. Each participant was asked to choose a building, built or designed within the last 25 years, which they could show embodied a historically significant contribution in terms of a particular design aspect or a concept relevant to the reading of buildings in general.
Speaker: Jose Araguez, Adjunct Professor of Arquitecture, Columbia University.
