Model maker Ellie Sampson at Warburg Institute event 14.05.21

The Warburg Institute are holding an online event next week as part of the lead up to their travelling exhibition Warburg Models. Haworth Tompkins' Model Maker Ellie Sampson, joins the panel to discuss our model for the Warburg Renaissance project, alongside speakers from the Oslo School of Architecture and Design. You can read more about our designs here.

Through a series of architectural models, the presentation shows how buildings commissioned and occupied by the Warburg Institute, from the Kulturwissenschaftliche Bibliothek Warburg in Hamburg, to the Institute’s current home on Woburn Square, have projected a tie between architectural space, intellectual order and the examination of cultural survival. Warburg Models opens at Guttorm Guttormgaardsarkiv at Blaker outside Oslo on 29 May 2021 and will travel to Hamburg, London and New York.

Modelling the Warburg Institute 1926-2021, 27 May at 6pm, reserve your place here.
