I
oAFollowing we invite you to a small reception
Sam Jacob is principal
of Sam Jacob Studio for architecture and design, a practice whose work ranges from urban design through architecture, design
and art to curatorial projects.
Sam is interested in how architecture and design can take ideas
and make them real. Inspired by context, his projects try to embody stories, sensations and feelings in space, form and materials.
His projects are striking yet also are full of familiar references, creating places and spaces with character and surprising
beauty.
Past projects have included nightclubs, social housing, community centres,
parks, TV studios and exhibitions.
Recent projects include a new mixed use building in Hoxton,
offices for Art Review, exhibition designs for Somerset House and the V&A’s Cromwell Road entrance. Current projects include
the National Collection Centre and the William Morris Gallery.
He has been a professor of architecture
at UIC since 2011 and has taught at the University of Hong Kong, Yale, Karlsruhe HfG, ABK Stuttgart, TU Vienna and the AA.
His
work has been shown at institutions including the Art Institute Chicago, the MAK, the V&A, and the Venice Biennale, where
he was co-curator of the British Pavilion in 2016. He is a columnist for Art Review and is the author of Make It Real, Architecture
as Enactment (Strelka Press, 2012). Previously, Sam was a director of FAT Architecture.
Tempor(E)alities
As interesting as
the times we live in may be, there are undoubtedly unprecedented temporal pressures at work within architecture and design.
From real-time to deep time, this I oA Lecture Series is an open-ended collection of creative acts situated in and propelling
the so-called Tempor(E)alities.
Thinking about temporalizing orders, logic, and notions in planning
and design, the I oA Sliver Lecture Series is set to reflect on spatio-temporal entanglements in its broadest sense and aims
to present various time perspectives through the lens of architecture and design.
I
oA Sliver Lecture Series 2023/24 Tempor(E)alities is curated by Maja Ozvaldič.
