PART FOUR is series of open, audience-led conversations between established and emerging practitioners working within and on the peripheries of architecture. Each event convenes a panel of speakers in response to a central theme, beginning with pre-submitted questions before opening the discussion to the room.
Launching alongside International Women’s Day, the first event focuses on gender in practice, reflecting upon structural barriers and inequalities to alternative models of working and practising today.
