Supercrits
Ongoing
Rem Koolhaas presents Delirious New York, in Supercrit #5
Supercrits take projects that have changed the weather of architecture and re-visit them in an international critical forum. The key protagonists are invited to present their projects, which may be built or unbuilt, temporary or permanent, to a panel of expert international critics, people who were actively involved at the time, an open audience of students, professionals and an interested public.
The Supercrit series was devised by EXP - the Centre for Experimental Practice at the University of Westminster - and is organised in collaboration with The Architecture Foundation.
