The countdown is on: RECORD’s 2020 edition of its Innovation Conference is less than one week away. The event will take place entirely online on Tuesday, October 27 and Wednesday, October 28, with a global line-up of speakers, and an audience of thousands of members of the architecture and design communities across time zones, who will tune in to 10 virtual sessions. This year’s theme is “The New Future: Architecture, Urbanism, and Communities.”
Four keynote speakers will bookend both days of online panels and lectures. On October 27, Jeanne Gang will open the conference with a talk titled “Architecture and Urbanism at Every Scale,” while 2021 RIBA Gold Medal winnerDavid Adjaye will close the first day by discussing his global practice, from museum projects in the U.S. and the Holocaust Memorial in the U.K. to his expanding portfolio in Africa. Architect, thinker, and innovator Neri Oxman will give the opening keynote on Wednesday, October 28, on “Humanity X Nature,” about the values, knowledge and skills we must deploy to design a future of synergy between the natural and the built environments. Frank Gehry, whose contributions to architecture over the past six decades have earned him the profession's highest honors, including the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 1989, will round out the 2020 event as final keynote speaker on Wednesday afternoon. Known for the power of his architecture to transform cities and districts, from Bilboa to Prague to Paris, the architect, while continuing to build the inventive cultural and commercial buildings for which he is known, is turning again to the city that helped make his career over the last 75 years. In Los Angeles, a number of projects in his office are grappling with urban and environmental problems, and he is bringing his unique design sensibility, in surprising ways, to overlooked neighborhoods.
