The Oakland-based studio hosts a virtual project visit and conversation.
This event will be hosted by Ronald Rael and Virginia San Fratello, the “alchemists” and architects behind Oakland-based studio Rael San Fratello and the 3-D printing make-tank Emerging Objects. In addition to “rethinking the way sensuous and sustainable objects and buildings can be made from the ground up,” their work also speculates about the social agency of design, particularly along the US–Mexico borderlands. The partners will speak directly from Antonito, Colorado, where they will show one of their most recent projects, MUD Frontiers / Casa Covida.
The conversation will be moderated by Christina De León, associate curator of Latino Design at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum.
Ronald Rael’s publications include Borderwall as Architecture: A Manifesto for the U.S.–Mexico Boundary (2017) and Earth Architecture (2008).
