WEEK IN REVIEW

ARCHITECTURE AS A CATALYST FOR CHANGE: DESIGNBOOM LIVE TALK WITH ASSEMBLE

designboom and assemble's anthony engi meacock come together to discuss the UK-based multidisciplinary collective's unique approach at the architect show in athens, greece. founded in 2010 to undertake a single self-built project, assemble has evolved into a pioneering studio that merges architecture, design, and art, embracing a socially engaged approach that embeds architects in local conversations. from the LUMA atelier in arles, to the granby four streets project, for which they received the prestigious turner prize in 2015, assemble's works highlight the power of collaboration and multidimensional thinking in design, as well as the importance of adaptability and long-term impact in architectural practice. 'it’s not just about the work we do now,' co-founding partner anthony engi meacock tells designboom, 'it’s about creating a sustainable framework for the future.' read more about our conversation here, and explore more recent interviews here.
