2006 "Show and Tell" Series - sponsored by Corus
Open House Contemporary, supported by Corus, uses a city's spaces and places as platforms for reflection, and provides a forum for in-depth dialogue about the complexities of the design process, what makes good design, the innovative technologies and materials used to create buildings, and how architects think and create.

"Corus is proud and delighted to support Open House Contemporary"

A series of talks in London and other major cities took place during Spring and Summer 2006. For general enquiries email us.
