Design Talks/
Highlights of the 2016 Design Talks program include Andreas Ruby discussing breaking the boundaries of how architecture is viewed and experienced beyond the walls of a traditional museum with SO-IL's Florian Idenburg, and Berlin-based Kuehn Malvezzi; Basel’s own Christ & Gantenbein bureau talking about contemporary architecture in dialogue with historic structures in a conversation with Wallpaper* editor in chief Tony Chambers; and designers Formafantasma, rugmaker Alexandra Kehayoglou and jewelry maker David Bielender in a conversation moderated by Christian Larson, associate curator of modern and contemporary art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. This year’s Design Talks program will be ‘silent’, conveyed through wireless headphones to immerse audiences fully in the conversation. Full program details will be released closer to the time.
