The discussion features Sam Jacob and Sean Griffiths, former directors of London's now-defunct FAT architecture studio. They will explore architecture's limitations, the potential demise of traditional architectural practice, and how renewal might emerge through artistic approaches. The event takes place at ArtReview Bar, located at 1 Honduras Street in London EC1Y 0TH, with the bar remaining open until 11pm. Sam Jacob previously addressed this topic in ArtReview's March 2015 issue. Attendees must RSVP via email to rsvp@artreview.com.
