boom saloon & A&DS:SpACE:What Materials Will Save The Builds Of The Future?

As part of boom saloon at A&DS:SpACE, Calling boom saloon asks: what materials will save the buildings of the future, and who controls the natural world they come from? Join us for an immersive discussion exploring these questions through the lens of the climate emergency, land rights, ownership and sustainability.

Grab a seat, help yourself to some popcorn and settle in. There’s no welcome speech: the screen lights up, a phone rings, and you’re listening in on a conversation between Tatiana Bilbao [Tatiana Bilbao ESTUDIO] in Mexico City and boom saloon member Jude Barber [Collective Architecture] in Glasgow, about materiality and our natural world.

Then we take the call live, as we invite brilliant minds Lilian Evangelia Emvaloti and Georgia Vasileiadou [Studio Athina Eikosipente] in Athens, Peter Holmes [BeSeated] and Elma Charalampidou [Heriot Watt University] in Edinburgh to pick up the thread in a discursive, reactionary roundtable. Share your questions live and we’ll put them to the call.

Finally, we open up the conversation to the room, inviting you to carry the discussion further.
