"The conditions and constraints that contemporary architects must respond to in their daily work ? climatic, social, economic, material, technological ? are in a state of transformation on a planetary scale," explained Galilee.
"Access to and interpretation of cutting-edge research is therefore a critical element in design and culture today," she continued.
"The World Around is proud to be collaborating with the visionary team at the Future Observatory to join them in spotlighting the urgent role of research as design, as art and as architecture. We hope it will prove to be a provocative and important discussion."
