The Architecture Foundation is staging a summer school for architects and architecture students at Caruso St John's newly completed St Pancras Campus mixed use development.

The London Borough of Camden has a distinguished history as a site of radical public housing.  Building on that legacy, the summer school will be led by some of the most progressive housing architects working today, including Caruso St John alums Adam Khan, Astrid Smitham (Apparata), and Florian Summa (Summacumfemmer), as well as regular collaborators Bovenbouw Architectuur. The studios will focus on the development of new housing solutions for sites in Camden and will be supported by a series of presentations from guest lecturers.

What is it Worth?

Plateforme 10, Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts, Lausanne

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.
