Saturday 25 February
New Soft Room

In conjunction with the AA Gallery exhibition on Lina Bo Bardi and Gio Ponti, AA Membership is hosting a special event in the New Soft Room. Paolo Rosselli, the celebrated Italian photographer and architect, will join award-winning Spanish photographer Iñigo Bujedo Aguirre in conversation to discuss contemporary architectural photography.

Rosselli, author of Sandwich Digitale and grandson of Gio Ponti, will talk about his own work and theories along with Bujedo Aguirre – photographer, former Goldsmiths lecturer and photojournalist – who was recently comissioned by the AA to photograph the works of Lina Bo Bardi.

Following the talk, Ana Araujo, AA tutor and curator of Lina & Gio and The Works of Lina Bo Bardi, will lead a tour of the exhibitions in the Gallery and Front Members' Room.

This event is open to the public with priority given to AA members. Complimentary refreshments will be available.

White Cube Bermondsey

Newly completed, the White Cube Bermondsey is the largest of the gallery's three London sites, providing more than 5440 square metres (58,000 sq ft) of interior space on a site of 1.7 acres (74,300 sq ft). The building dates from the 1970s and was primarily used as a warehouse before the current refurbishment.

White Cube Bermondsey has been designed by former AA tutors Marianne Mueller and Olaf Kneer of Casper Mueller Kneer Architects, who are based in London and Berlin. The building has been altered to include three principal exhibition spaces, substantial warehousing, private viewing rooms, an auditorium and a bookshop.
