The School of Architecture at the Academy of Art University invites you to a guest lecture by Huma Sahin and Adrian Harrison of RRO on Monday, April 21st at 6:00pm. Join in person on campus at 601 Brannan Street  Room 211 or on Zoom at this link https://art.zoom.us/my/schoolofarchitecture

RRO is a studio for architecture based in San Francisco, California. It places emphasis on change as an essential value of architecture and it believes in embracing architecture as a process of becoming rather than a static being.

Hüma SAHIN is an architectural designer and urban planner from Istanbul. She received her Master in Architecture Degree from the Harvard Graduate School of Design, where she was awarded the Department of Architecture Faculty Design Award. Before that, she received dual Bachelor’s Degrees in Architecture and in Urban and Regional Planning at Istanbul Technical University. For both degrees she received the Faculty Prize for two separate theses. She is interested in exploring “subtraction” in architecture as a tool to defamiliarize form and its relationship to program, and to understand the anatomy of publicness in urban spaces.

Adrian HARRISON is an architectural designer from California. He holds a Master in Architecture Degree with Distinction from the Harvard Graduate School of Design. Prior to that, he graduated from Stanford University Civil Engineering with a concentration in Architectural Design and a minor in Computer Science. His main area of interest is in the relationship between craft and architecture, focusing on the way that experience of material can be heightened through formal defamiliarization. He has worked at a range of architecture offices including SOM, Johnston Marklee, Machado Silvetti, Herzog & de Meuron and Atelier Peter Zumthor in Switzerland.
