When Farrell and her Grafton Architects partner Shelley MacNamara curated the 2018 Venice architecture biennale, their theme was “Freespace,” signifying openness and humanity in architecture, both in spirit and spatial qualities. As Farrell will show, those values are at the core of their firm’s work, in projects that are inspired by the urban or geographical context, such as their dramatic, vertical concrete campus for UTEC in Lima, Peru.
