Peter Bohlin Lecture, "The Nature of Circumstance"
This presentation will relate to Peter Bohlin's interest in the nature of circumstances. These range from the nature of places, both man-made and natural, to the varied nature of humans and their particular activities and to the nature of the means with which we build. Using examples of the firm's work from early to current projects, Peter will discuss the rich and powerful buildings of Bohlin Cywinski Jackson that resulted from The Nature of Circumstance. "We are peeling away the layers of our habits and preconceptions. We require open-mindedness, willingness, gentleness a soft, yet no-holds-barred approach."
