Unfinished - Billie Tsien

Event Date: Oct 24, 2024; Event City: Brooklyn, NY, US Life and architecture are not straight lines. This talk will discuss how practice shifts over time and how that changes the work, and ourselves. We will investigate how some principles remain static over time, serving as a foundation and guide, while some change form, gain strength, or fall to the wayside. Empowering evolution of the creative process allows the work to continue throughout the changes of life. By reflecting on past work and discussing current and upcoming projects, Billie Tsien will engage with how her practice has, and continues to shift and evolve. Bio:Billie Tsien is a founding partner of the New York-based practice Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects | Partners in 1986.  Their practice is committed to reflecting the values of non-profit, cultural and academic institutions toward an architecture of enduring vision.
