DESCRIPTION:Maria Lisogorskaya & Amy Perkins (Assemble)\n10:30 – 11:15 
 – Assemble \n- M. Lisogorskaya \nFounding Director Partner at Assemble D
 esign\, UK & Visiting Professor at EPFL\, Switzerland\n- A. Perkins\nFound
 ing Member at Assemble Design\, UK\, Research Assistant at EPFL\, Switzerl
 and & Lecturer at ETHZ\, Switzerland\n\nLearning through Making\n\nAssembl
 e is a multi-disciplinary collective working across architecture\, design 
 and art. Two of its founders\, Amy Perkins and Maria Lisogorskaya\, will p
 resent the 10 year journey of the practice through the lens of collective 
 practice - their approach to projects\, places and materials.\n\nThey will
  focus on housing in particular\; reasserting a belief in ‘housing’ as
  an act\, not simply a final product. They will explore the relationships 
 between its various actors\, from those whose day to day lives are spent l
 iving\, working\, cleaning\, and repairing\, to those whose seemingly deta
 ched decisions determine whether this physical fabric is demolished or ren
 ovated. Not forgetting the approach to materials\, labour in manufacture a
 nd construction\; and the disparate quality and care given to our physical
  surroundings - how we build our environments is of ongoing concern to the
  practice.\n\nAssemble will be presented as an infrastructure for diverse 
 interests and skills\; a non hierarchical machine with\, above all\, an at
 titude of enquiry and a commitment to learning underpinning the practice.\
 n\nShort bio:\nFounded in 2010 to undertake a single self-built project\, 
 Assemble has since delivered a diverse and award-winning body of work\, wh
 ilst retaining a democratic and co-operative working method that enables b
 uilt\, social and research-based work at a variety of scales\, both making
  things and making things happen.\n\nAmy Perkins has been teaching at the 
 ETH Zürich with Studio Tom Emerson since 2018 and is editor of CARTHA mag
 azine.\n\nMaria Lisogorskaya is currently a guest professor at EPFL and he
 r current projects include Lot 8 at the Luma Foundation in France and Mate
 rial Institute in the US.
