We are honored to open the 1014 Next Frontiers symposium with a keynote by Sir David Chipperfield.
At a moment of rapid change, Sir David Chipperfield’s work offers a vital perspective on architecture as a profound social and cultural responsibility. This keynote will explore the careful transformation of existing buildings, particularly the work on 1014 Fifth Avenue, positioning renovation and adaptive reuse as essential strategies for our collective future. Such thoughtfully reimagined spaces become the necessary vessel for the cultural, scientific, and artistic frontiers for the coming decades.
Join us as we redefine the boundaries of the built environment, committing to an architectural philosophy where the most sustainable building is often the one that already exists.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Vitra for graciously hosting us for this evening of dialogue and discovery.
