Rotelenberg House, Jan de Vylder and Inge Vinck, Belgium. Still from A Lot With Little
A Lot With Little x Ad Hoc Baroque, the architecture of Reuse. A conversation with Noemí Blager, James Wescott, Rotor and the AA Low Carbon Group, chaired by Jane Hall.
This conversation brings together Noemí Blager, curator of A Lot With Little on display in the AA Gallery, with AA Diploma 18 Tutor James Westcott and re-use design practice Rotor, whose exhibition Ad Hoc Baroque about radical re-user Marcel Raymaekers is on show in the Front Members Room. The conversation draws parallels between the two projects and how they celebrate contemporary architecture practices with a low environmental but high aesthetic impact.
