Right Here, Right Now | Friday Matters by K-Studio & ODASSIEN with Piers Taylor
Friday Matters is a forum that brings design conversations out of the studio and into a convivial, interactive setting — blending the rigor of a lecture, the intimacy of a gathering, and the energy of a Friday night out.
Last October, we invited the design community at Castor Place, where our guest Piers Taylor walked us through his research on context, locality, and the vernacular in architecture, while interactive curiosities from top creatives ignited a playful exploration of culture, and creativity.

With this perspective, we step into the year ahead with optimism and renewed intent, open to new challenges, ideas, and possibilities.
