Studio SUMO, founded in 1995 by Yolande Daniels and Sunil Bald and based in New York, approaches architectural design as both material and speculative.

As an investigative form, it is a tool for understanding the translation and materialization of concepts and constructions. The lecture illustrates SUMO’s blending of form, materiality, and ideas in a series of projects that range in scale, scope and context. SUMO will discuss its goal to incorporate theory and practice in a manner that each reinforces the other as space or object. For more information, visit SCAD Style. |
