THE ORANGE EXTENSION AT THE WADe ASIA AWARDS & CONFERENCE 2017.

This weekend we were invited to speak at the WADe Asia Awards and Conference 2017 in Delhi. WADe ASIA is an interesting initiative that focuses in bringing visibility and recognition over the achievements of women architects and designers in Asia. The event brought together a lot of talented women of the industry and showcased their work and their careers. Speakers came from all over Asia and some interesting discussions took place regarding the challenges of practising in Asia. 
We had the opportunity of sharing with the audience our project The Orange Extension and the challenges that we experience while working with weathering steel (corten). The talk will be up on their website soon! (click in photo below for the link)

We also got to meet some old friends and make some new ones!!
