In this lecture, Adam Caruso will ask whether architecture has the capacity to attend to wider forms of value, less obvious than financial ones, but with longer and more complex histories. Can an architectural project recall the social histories of a site, can it transform existing material and energy into something surprising and relevant. Can architecture once again provide a bridge between the physical and cultural qualities of contemporary society.
