Renewed Spatial Contracts

AA Public Programme

Conversations on Venice brings together architects, educators and curators involved in the 17th Venice Architecture Biennale.

What are the spaces across scales that enable us to come together differently, to have new forms of conversation or to change our behaviours, habits and rituals? Especially after the months spent online as we remained physically and geographically separate, what are the spaces and devices that can now bring us back together? In this conversation between curators of the Cyprus Pavilion alongside designers and educators Lemonot and Francesca Dell’Aglio and Rory Sherlock who all taught units in this year’s AA Summer School, they will discuss the new spatial contracts that were formed in and around this year’s biennale and how this became a platform to develop conversations around teaching agendas, architectural practice and what it means to be an agent of change.Urban Radicals started out in 2019 as a collaboration between Nasios Varnavas and Era Savvides. Dedicated to the idea of collaboration with other practices, disciplines, and individuals, the studio functions as a collective, looking to examine the notion of community from a variety of perspectives including culture, politics, economy, geography, ecology, social aspects and architecture. Era and Nasios are actively involved in academia as visiting tutors at the Bartlett, Architectural Association, University of Greenwich and De Montfort University. More recently, they have been selected as emerging architectural talent to design and curate the national participation of Cyprus in the 17th Venice Architecture Biennale, La Biennale di Venezia 2021.Lemonot is a duo based in London - co-founded by Sabrina Morreale and Lorenzo Perri - educators and spatial practitioners, they operate between architecture and performative arts, used as devices to detect, celebrate and trigger the spontaneous theatre of everyday life. They have been Programme Heads of the AA Visiting School El Alto since 2017 and in the past few years they have taught in Cambridge, at the AA Summer School and at INDA in Bangkok. They currently teach on the AA Foundation course and at dieAngewandte (University of Applied Arts) in Vienna.Francesca Romana Dell’Aglio is an architect, writer and educator. She currently teaches History and Theory Studies at the Architectural Association and runs design studios at Cambridge University and the Royal College of Art, where she is concluding her PhD on rituals, habits and collective space in London.Rory James Sherlock is an architectural designer, editor and teacher. He graduated with Honours from the Architectural Association and was the Assistant Editor of AA Publications before joining OMMX, where he currently works.
