PUBLIC LECTURE
AIR Foundation has invited Monolab
to lecture on February 10, 2010 at De Unie
on Rotterdam tall buildings and icons.
Other speakers are Han van den Born of KCAP
and Prof. David Dunster of Liverpool School of Architecture as moderator.
Monolab will contribute with a review on Rotterdam
and will present an instrument to review tall buildings.
This instrument is meant to operate as an auto-critical reference
and bridge to architecture for urban designers,
in order to overcome the absence of a coherent urban framework in Rotterdam
and as a pro-active mind frame for designers
to improve architectural design of tall buildings.
