"In our culture, daylight and sunlight are intrinsically linked to our happiness and comfort." - Gianni Botsford.
About this event
Gianni will present projects that explore daylight and sunlight as a starting point of a project not only for the form, but also in the organisation of a number of private houses.
Gianni Botsford's talk will feature the award winning work of Gianni Botsford Architects and describe how the sophisticated solar analysis tools he has developed have helped to shape his architecture. Attendees can expect an in depth view of Gianni's work and working process as an architect.
The open Technical Studies Lecture Series invites and documents talks from leading thinkers and practitioners in architecture, engineering and related disciplines, augmented with demonstrative student and public workshops.
