2019 M+ / Design Trust Research Fellows — Oliver Elser and Yasmin Tri Aryani — will present the results of their research, illustrating the diversity of topics supported by the fellowship programme. Oliver Elser will look into Brutalist architecture in Hong Kong. Through juxtaposing buildings in Hong Kong with those in Mainland China and Taiwan, he attempts to unveil the cultural implications of Brutalism, especially within the realm of architectural discourse of the 1960s and 70s. Yasmin Tri Aryani will introduce the finding of how indigenous architecture has been instrumentalised in representing national identity, in relation to ethnic majorities and minorities in the country.
The two presentations will each be followed by a discussion and Q&A session.
