Contextures: Event Programming

Alongside the exhibition Contextures: RMA and The Practice of Embedded Architecture, TARQ presents a series of events that extend its inquiry into architecture's public life. Across four sessions of walkthroughs and panel discussions, architects, critics, curators, and patrons come together to discuss the many forces that shape institutional buildings — the negotiations between patrons, clients, and users; the growing role of private philanthropy in cultural institutions; the craft of translating architecture into exhibition form; and the ongoing dialogue between criticism and practice. The programme brings the ideas behind RMA Architects' six featured projects into open conversation with the public.
