Mithras House, Lewes Road
A Brighton Interior Architecture and Architecture Society (BIAAS) lecture by Owain Williams. Having graduated from the University of Brighton in 2010, Owain is currently completing his 5th year at the Bartlett, UCL. Recently awarded the National Eisteddfod Architecture Scholarship for 2012, his lecture will introduce his work as part of Unit 12 under Professor Jonathan Hill , author of The Illegal Architect, Immaterial Architecture and Weather Architecture, trying to define the nature of the critical practice taking place both in his work and those of the students of the Bartlett in general.
Owain will also be presenting his degree project, the Assemblage Machine, which proposes a Buddhist Seminary in an existing urban recess at the terminal point of Brighton’s north Laines. Nominated for the RIBA Presidents Bronze Medal in 2010, the project is informed by the work of Deleuze and Guattari, and offers an approach to the problematics of the ‘social condenser’ typology through a methodology driven by their great post-structuralist work A Thousand Plateaus.
