Creatives in Conversation – Between Space and Story: Art, Architecture, and the Making of Experience.
What transforms space into experience? This panel brings creatives who explore how practices across disciplines shape the way we perceive, inhabit, and remember the built environment.
From the legacy of modernist architecture to the expressive potential of infrastructure and the conceptual language of contemporary art, each panelist approaches space as both a physical construct and a cultural narrative.
Through their work, materials, systems, and form become tools for storytelling—bridging the personal and the collective, the intimate and the civic.
Set at the Schindler House, the conversation will examine how art and architecture intersect to create meaning, provoke engagement, and redefine the boundaries between object, environment, and experience.
