MOS Architects with Amale Andraos | Architectural Explorations in Books Series | June 1, recommended by Amelia Taylor-Hochberg

If you don't know the work of MOS already, read up: they've been exhibited at the Chicago Biennial and the Venice Biennale, have a delightfully quirky visual style, and self-describe as "weirdos". Partners Hilary Sample and Michael Meredith will present their latest set of projects, as featured in their aptly titled new book, Selected Works, and then discuss the process behind them with Amale Andraos, Dean of Columbia University’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation. Don't miss this free event for some mid-week inspiration.
