events, to bring face to face the past, the contemporary
and the future of the role of The Bartlett, but also architecture
education in general. It is also an opportunity to meet

| PROJECT:
Installation for the Ludwig Museum in Budapest
Azhar is to collaborate
with artist Robin Sperling for a series of installations
commissioned by the Ludwig Museum in Budapest. The themes
will include room installations named "Incenduary",
"Wall of Silence", and a tripartite on three planes
"The Trace, The Freeze and The Dust Collector".
One of the rooms will be laid with a clay, made from the
dried silt of the Danube, to record the traces of the visitors
to the gallery. These "clay" plates will then
be fired and displayed on the walls of the next gallery.
Another proposal for the Ludwig proposes its "marking"
at a large scale visible from the other side of the city.
