Christy Lange has noted that Beasley’s ‘sculptures and photographs, as mute and minimal as they appear, unexpectedly open onto literary worlds’. Working between sculpture and photography – often printing at a 1:1 scale – allows Beasley to ask sculptural questions of the photographic and to interrogate the sculptural from the position of the photographic object. Conceptual and instinctual attitudes are bound intensely into the centre of her practice. . . .

This lecture surveys essential concepts and significant past and current projects that deal with interactive, responsive environments, ie buildings that can change their configuration, appearance, and environmental conditions in response to patterns of occupation and context (and in return can shape those too). The principal argument is that change in architecture is far from being adequately addressed or explored theoretically, experimentally or phenomenologically.

This Monday evening lecture series coordinated by Mark Cousins asks invited speakers to introduce a broad field of architectural issues and issues of architectural education. The point is not to argue for some particular view but to describe the plurality of views within architectural discourse so that the audience becomes more aware of the choices open to them in terms of the central issues of architectural debate. Peter Cook’s is the first lecture in the series.
