Big Box Rules Workshop

November 1, 2014

 

With participation of:

Mahmood Faruqi, Director, RTKL

Jorge Beroiz, Director, RTKL

Jan-Maurits Loecke, Associate, RTKL

Aran Chadwick, Director, Atelier One

 

The Big Box Rules workshop explores the typologies of trade, the logistics that instigate them, and the physical landscapes that they enable in turn. With a series of presentations and conversations with OfficeUS experts on the subject of the big box typology, this week brings Mahmood Faruqi and Jorge Beroiz, both directors at RTKL, Jan-Maurits Loecke, an associate at RTKL and Aran Chadwick, a director at Atelier One.

 

The one-day workshop will focus on the box typology from a design perspective, specifically through the lens of large, single-use buildings in an urban context. Through both presentations of the work of RTKL in discussion with the OfficeUS partners, Big Box Rules will explore how contemporary strategies towards the big box typology might be capable of rethinking its role within the city and the social engagements that the box supports.
