Lacaton & Vassal: Living In The City

This exhibition encapsulates three years of teaching and research focussed on the Sirius Building and the Waterloo Housing Estate by architects Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal, inaugural Rothwell co-chairs of the University of Sydney School of Architecture, Design, and Planning.

Lacaton & Vassal: Living in the City showcases the architects’ projects, documentaries and research, illuminating their architectural method which is based on close attention, transformation rather than demolition, and provision of high-quality living spaces.

Curated by Anne Lacaton, Jean-Philippe Vassal, Hannes Frykholm and Catherine Lassen, the exhibition foregrounds the Pritzker Prize-winning French architects’ conviction that urbanism begins inside each apartment, with quality housing for everyone.
