Anne Fougeron: Framing Light | Architecture Lecture
Architect Anne Fougeron presents work from her firm, Fougeron Architects, highlighted in her latest monograph, Framing Light (ORO Publishers). For more than 40 years, Fougeron has advanced a humane modernism, striving to bring the dignity and inspiration of great architecture to all citizens through a diverse body of work.
Throughout her distinguished, award-winning career, her core philosophy has remained clear: Architecture has the power to change lives, and everyone deserves access to design’s transformative potential. This lecture focuses on the last 15 years of her practice, exploring key projects, design methodologies, and the impact of light and spatial dignity in civic and residential architecture.
