Courtesy Assemble
Jane Hall, a founding member of Turner Prize-winning architecture collective Assemble, explores her research and Assemble’s multidisciplinary practice in a public lecture as part of the inaugural School of Speculation.
Founded in 2010, Assemble has delivered a diverse and award-winning body of work across architecture, design and art. Working as a multidisciplinary collective, Assemble’s method enables built, social and research-based work at a variety of scales, both making things and making things happen.
The talk is organised by the School of Speculation, an independent critical design school, hosted at the SLG and Design Museum.
