A current project with Brrum includes “And or not”, a proposal for a public artwork for the planned new park, Norrastationsparen in Hagastaden, Stockholm, which will be finished 2021.
The Open Lecture Series brings to Tallinn a number of exciting architects, urban planners, academics from across the world.

Open Lecture Series: Yael Raisner on the troubled relationship of Architecture and Beauty
The first lecturer of the Open Lecture Series this spring semester will be Yael Reisner, stepping on the stage of Kanuti Gildi Saal (Pikk 20, Tallinn) on 8th of February at 6 pm. Her lecture is titled “Beauty Does Matter – The Cultural Bias, The Enigma and The Timely Pursuit of New Beauties in Architecture”.
In 2010, Reisner – with design writer Fleur Watson – published a book of interviews with more than a dozen architects, titled “Architecture and Beauty, Conversation With Architects About A Troubled Relationship”. In the book, Reisner talked with the architects about their relationship to beauty, the relationship of architecture and beauty being one that whole generations of architects have tried to avoid. The questions of architecture and aesthetics, or more widely culture and aesthetics were also explored in Reisner’s PhD (RMIT, 2009) and will be the focus of her lecture in Tallinn. Why don’t architects like to talk about beauty?
Born in Tel Aviv, Reisner has lived in London since 1990. She has a PhD in architecture (by design) from RMIT Melbourne, Australia, a Diploma from the Architectural Association in London (including RIBA part 1 and part 2, and a BSc in Biology from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. In 2004, she founded the Yael Reisner Studio, an architectural research-lead practice.
