Summer Fun - small(sm)Architecture Exhibiting in Athens and Florence...


We've been invited to take part in two events this summer. The first one, titled Syn_athr(0)isis}, which is a part of the Synch Festival, will take place later this month in Athens, where we'll be exhibiting a CNC milled version of the Finger Run design. Tom's also going to be giving a presentation, as well as partake in a round-table discussion with a number of illustrious colleagues (list included below), at this event on June 15th.


We've also recently submitted material for the Visions - Beyond Media International Festival for Architecture taking place in Florence this July. We were invited to this event by the London based nous Gallery, who specialize in exhibiting more polemic and experimental, usually computing based, architectural work. For images of our last year's exhibition at the nous gallery click here.


Let's encourage and aid more Kuwait based practices and thinkers to partake in these kinds of international occasions. We need to shout out and let the wider community know that there are some truly worthwhile things (catalytic ideas/ polemic proposals) originating and taking place here in Kuwait and the region that carry a unique flavour all of their own. These types of international happenings are a good medium through which to start spreading the word and laying the foundations for a revitalization of a more evolved discourse regarding related matters...

More about these, and perhaps a few other, events in future blog submissions...
