Sumayya Vally in conversation with Dean Sarah Whiting

Date: 

Thursday, September 8, 2022, 6:30pm to 8:00pm

Location: 

Harvard Graduate School of Design, Gund Hall, Piper Auditorium (48 Quincy St., Cambridge)

Sarah M. Whiting, Dean and Josep Lluís Sert Professor of Architecture, will sit down with architect Sumayya Vally for an intimate conversation about design practice, pedagogy, and research.

Sumayya Vally was born in Pretoria, South Africa in 1990. Vally’s design, research, and pedagogical practice is searching for expression for hybrid identities and territory, particularly for African and Islamic conditions. Her design process is often forensic, and draws on the aural, performance and the overlooked as generative places of history and work. She is the co-founder and principal of the award-winning architecture and research studio, Counterspace.
