excited to be part of DIALOGUES this April in NY

DIALOGUES

GIANY presents DIALOGUES, a concise and fast-paced, multiple-speaker event, presented by multidisciplinary professionals, covering a widely diverse range of subjects, in relation to the notion of shelter. DIALOGUES will be part of “A Shelter for Architecture” [SfA], which will take place on Friday, April 15th, 2016 at the Consulate General of Greece in New York. During that evening, the Consulate itself will become a shelter for architecture and a platform for exchange of ideas between architects, scholars, educators, and the general public. DIALOGUES aspire on creating a map of ideas that take on the definition of shelter and reinterpret it through diverse lenses. Architects, Engineers, Artists, Choreographers, Scientists, Psychologists and other professionals will contribute to a general dialogue on shelter.
