Professor Fiona McLachlan, will discuss the role of painting as a tool for discussion and collaborative practice.
Retrofitting 20th-century modernist buildings offers an opportunity to consider how change can be accommodated as part of an evolving identity. Drawing on her collaboration with Collective Architecture and ongoing research on colour, Professor Fiona McLachlan, University of Edinburgh, will discuss the development of a colour strategy for two A-listed Brutalist housing blocks in Leith and the role of painting as a tool for discussion and collaborative practice.
