Marlon Blackwell and Meryati Blackwell will discuss their architecture and design process and will introduce “Radical Practice: The Work of Marlon Blackwell Architects” a new monograph released in June 2022 by Princeton Architectural Press. Both the book and the lecture emphasize projects in the public and civic realm, emerging from outside the established centers of architectural culture, illustrating the distinct and original voice of Marlon Blackwell Architects.
The lecture will discuss the richness of the work, the practice’s dynamic analytical, planning, and design methods, and its consequences. The lecture will also suggest an open endedness, at once generous and provocative, to the practice’s trajectory and interest in what a “radical practice” can be in the contemporary moment.
