The academy series, organized by the Master’s course in Architecture and Art at the Academy of Fine Arts, aims to enrich the city’s architectural discourse with lectures by international and renowned architects.
“In my work I start with forms or material gestures that often come from outside the realm of architecture, in the conviction that things can always be re-examined and reinterpreted, and could in turn also be seen as architecture. The way someone can see a butterfly or a lake in the ink blots of a Rorschach test. I try to look freely at material gestures and forms and let them perform as architecture. In this way, architecture emerges by imagining a next step to the precious steps that have been taken, in an attempt to let the work remain interpretable, in much the same way it originated.” – Anne Holtrop
