The Constructing Realities series invites speakers to explore the design and making of our built environment,听examining how invention, creativity, collaboration, and technology are shaping the future of the spaces we live in. Contributors will range from architects, engineers, environmental engineers, fa莽ade engineers and material scientists:听all practitioners who are at the forefront of their industry or disciplines.

This lecture series has the potential to听directly inform听your practice. It is discursive and offers opportunities for students, stakeholders, professionals and the wider public to learn from and question the people who are constructing the realities we inhabit.听

This lecture will be held 18:30 - 20:00 in G6 LT Archaeology, 31-34 Gordon Square, Bloomsbury.听

Professor Philip Beesley听is one of the global pioneers in living architecture design and research, widely known for his immersive 鈥�sentient鈥澨�physical environments. Since his first experimental presentations, he has worked within collaborative groups. His 2010 Hylozoic Ground project has become a fixture across contemporary international architecture curricula. His current research focuses on the architectural implications of听dissipative adaptation听and听biogenesis听at the boundary between mineral and organic realms, revealing fertile qualities. His installations were presented twice at the Venice Biennale for Architecture and are currently touring Europe and Oceania.听 A multi-year collaboration with TU Delft reaches across multiple departments and research groups. His collaborations with haute couture designer Iris van Herpen have resulted in 15 collections.听

The lecture will discuss these far-reaching integrative probes include poetic expressions, elemental kits and pattern languages that are providing paradigms, tools and frameworks for the emerging discipline of living architecture.

Can architecture integrate living functions? Could future buildings think, and care? The brings together research颅ers and industry partners in a multidisciplinary research cluster dedicated to developing built environments with qualities that come close to life.听The research of LAS has the potential to change how we build by transform颅ing the physical structures that support buildings and the technical systems that control them.听
