Caroline Bos, cofounder of UNStudio and part of the Tbilisi Architecture Biennial will give a lecture at the TBC Concept multifunctional area (Marjanishvili 7), on October 8, 2024 at 7 p.m.
To fix mistakes… to mend… to make good… architecture will always require that we make things better. We can do this by inventing and improving tools and techniques. UNStudio not only reflects on this topic from a pragmatic perspective, but also on our own discipline as well as the good that we can do for our living world.
