DESCRIPTION:Nicole McIntosh\nWhile context is often understood as reading 
 the present built environment\, today the global dissemination of imagery 
 produces new context(s) that are composites of architectural elements and 
 styles. The ‘Are we There\, There!?’ lecture investigates this design 
 phenomenon that has broader ramifications and represents current challenge
 s in architecture and urban design. The lecture will question analogies th
 at create a new context from imagery\, that create a character of a There.
  Nicole McIntosh will show selected Architecture Office work\, that is inf
 ormed by the offices’ interest in using representation and reconfigurati
 on to actualize images that distinguish form and type from their cultural 
 associations as means of producing new forms of architecture. One example\
 , is their current exhibition Swissness Applied. Collectively\, the projec
 ts support architecture’s unique capacity to not be static and singular\
 , but to simultaneously engage and refresh the things around it.\n\nBIO\n\
