Entering History: Architecture, Drawing, as research through practice, with Ephraim Joris
Hosted by Research in Perspective
What happens when the questions emerging from architectural practice begin to transform the practice itself? Tracing a personal history from renovation and restoration through practice-based research to experimental drawing, Ephraim Joris explores how architecture, drawing, and research reshape one another. His talk will reflect on research as an evolving practice, shaped as much by the work it produces as by the changing circumstances around it.
Ephraim Joris’s architectural practice grew out of renovation and restoration, with an ongoing interest in how a building enters into a relationship with its own history. He teaches at the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam, where he also works with its six master’s programs to map their educational approaches and identify opportunities for future development.
