Architecture sans Frontière- Cambridge and the Group of Natural Material Innovation invite you to Ammar Khammash’s talk about his work, research, and approach to design. The talk will focus on where and how to search for references to design and what architecture can learn from nature and culture. How biology, botany, anthropology, and archaeology are essential keys to the know-how in the making of the built environment.
