Beyond Architecture | David Gianotten

Talk

David Gianotten of Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) shares insights into the firm’s community-led projects and signals the changing role of the architect.

OMA has designed global architectural icons such as the CCTV Headquarters and the Fondazione Prada in Milan. Its groundbreaking partnership with in-house research and design studio AMO is responsible for the Countryside: The Future exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum and the 14th Venice Architecture Biennale, as well as a decades long collaboration with Prada. In this talk, OMA’s Managing Partner – Architect David Gianotten will discuss the changing role of the architect, and the importance of cultural and community engagement in the development of sustainable and equitable architecture. Gianotten’s recent projects include the Taipei Performing Arts Center, a new cultural landmark in the city; AIR Circular Campus and Cooking Club, a repurposed modernist building and green space in Singapore to host discussions about food and the environment; Potato Head Studios in Bali, a resort that welcomes the local community; and Apollolaan 171, an office building in Amsterdam that invites nature into the work environment. His projects in Australia include the WA Museum Boola Bardip in Perth and the MPavilion 2017.
