Course Description
The course is an opportunity for gaining professional insight into one of the most important architecture firms in the world. Through numerous accounts and reflections on completed projects, WilkinsonEyre tells the story of its decades of experience at
the highest level of international architecture. WilkinsonEyre is a London-based practice founded by Chris Wilkinson and Jim Eyre in 1999. Its portfolio includes numerous award-winning projects both nationally and internationally.
The architects base their approach on a conscious use of technology and materials, integrating contemporary architecture with an awareness of setting. The creative processes that led, and will lead, to the construction of very advanced buildings, both
from the perspective of architectural design and compositional innovation, will be examined. This course is an important learning opportunity for all architects who want to closely analyze the design dynamics behind the greatest works of architecture
of this century.
