About the webinar
In traditional architecture around the world, pure black and pure white surfaces are seldom seen. Yet in much contemporary architecture, black and white are championed for their uncompromising clarity and sharpness. What has led to this cultural shift, and has it improved architecture? The Webinar will include an exploration of different qualities of ‘whiteness’ and ‘blackness’ and how they can be used and misused in Architecture.
A recording will be made available to those who cannot attend in person.
