Tashkeel hosts monthly online lectures on specialised topics by internationally acclaimed experts who share their experience and knowledge. Followed by a Q&A with viewers, these live lectures are designed to give artists and designers critical tools to further their professional development.
How does cultural heritage play a part in innovation and architectural solutions? Join Mexico City designer Hector Esrawe in this Tashkeel Lecture to learn about his practice as both artist and designer in his multidisciplinary approach to finding architectural solutions, from concept to pursuit of innovation.
Esrawe will present his approach to understanding the value of cultural heritage, which allows him to translate it into new languages and possibilities. Working hand in hand with small craft workshops through a horizontal collaboration, he will discuss his multidisciplinary practice that developed through a kind of work ethic and thoughtfulness and appreciation for the craft and the makers and the communities. For Esrawe, it is not about hustling anymore; it's not about finding the edge. It is about getting to work, focusing on doing good stuff, and doing it with integrity.
This lecture is ideal for emerging designers seeking to form their own design philosophy.
