An examination of the chilling role architecture played in constructing Auschwitz.

The Evidence Room is a powerful installation which reconstructs key objects used in the forensic analysis of the architecture of Auschwitz. Historian Robert Jan van Pelt introduced the objects as evidence in a court case to demonstrate that Auschwitz was purposefully designed as a death camp.

To mark Waterloo Architecture’s 50th Anniversary, our annual Projects Review will be integrated with the Questioning the Canon exhibition at Design at Riverside, with additional simultaneous displays and events throughout the architecture school and off-site at Bridge.

Iris van Herpen: Transforming Fashion 

Can architecture respond to you, and feel, and care? Can it start, in primitive ways, to come alive? Find out how the collaboration between and Philip Beesley and the Living Architecture Systems group merges innovative structure, chemistry, artificial intelligence and immersive soundscapes into a visually stunning interactive environment. Philip will share examples from numerous international projects, and will reveal how his own vision has been transformed by working with the intimate dimensions of clothing in collaborations with Iris van Herpen.

Please join us at the launch of Andrew Levitt’s new book "Listening to Design" published by Reaktion Books, London.

As well as this event, there will also be a book launch in Toronto at Swipe Design - 401 Richmond Street West from 6-8 PM, Wednesday June 6th.

The place is a Tower much like the ones in Cambridge I’ve been so fascinated by, the ones I’m drawn to when I need a break.
