Foreign Office Architects presents the recently completed department store and Cineplex in Leicester. The store's striking facade, comprised of a double layer skin with a lace-like pattern, acts as a net curtain, both allowing and blocking views from the street. The Cineplex is a large blank volume clad in stainless steel shingles. Moussavi will discuss ornamentation and designing the building envelope.
When the Starr Auditorium is sold out, tickets at £4 each will be available for a Live Video Relay of the event in the Seminar Room. Ticket holders for the Seminar Room will watch the event on a screen, and will not be able to participate in the Q&A at the end of the talk. A complimentary glass of wine will be served to viewers in the Seminar Room.
