Sara Zewde | Tecnoglass Lecture Series
In the context of a changing climate, clarified social and political tensions, and rapid urban development, an understanding of ecologies of memory can offer creative departures for contemporary design practice. Sara Zewde will share recent design work of Studio Zewde across a range of geographies in view of this framework.
Faculty Moderators: Rocco Ceo + Gabriel Soomar
