Event details: Lina Bo Bardi: a presentation by Laura Smith, Lina Bo Bardi Fellow 2014

The Lina Bo Bardi Fellowship is a 4-year programme run by the British Council that gives architects and designers based in the UK the opportunity to travel and explore first-hand the work and legacy of Lina Bo Bardi and related architects and designers in Brazil.

Laura’s research focused primarily on the impact that Brazilian popular culture has had on Bo Bardi’s work. Laura’s research was centred around Bo Bardi’s designed works through drawings and making in order to reveal the architect’s design process, intent and influences.

Since her trip, Laura has been prototyping a scaled version of Lina’s Solar do Unhão staircase and she will give a presentation on her work to date at the event; which will be followed by a panel discussion with:

• Isaac Julien, UAL Chair of Global Art
• João Guarantani, Architecture Design Fashion, British Council
• Melanie Dodd, Programme Director Spatial Practices, Central Saint Martins
• chaired by Prof. Jeremy Till, Head of Central Saint Martins, Pro Vice-Chancellor, UAL
