​AA tutors and alumni take part in Architecture Foundation's 'Economy Class' symposium

Examining brief making, representation, spatial clarity, housing design, construction processes, cost and quality control, value measurement and city management, the notion of economy will be framed as a contextual, conceptual, operational and, ultimately, architectural quality. Taking the pervasive doctrine of ‘more, cheaper, faster’ as a cultural backdrop, we will consider the capacity for architecture to critically and responsibly translate constraints into pleasures.
