The Berlage

Sandra Barclay and Jean Pierre Crousse co-founded Barclay & Crousse Architecture in Paris in 1994 and established it in Lima in 2006. The practice manages a wide range of programs in a transcontinental basis. It has been awarded the Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize 2018, the Oscar Niemeyer Prize 2016, and the Peruvian National Prize of Architecture in 2014 and 2018, among other international prizes. Their work has been published worldwide and was part of the main exhibition at the 16th Venice Biennale in 2018. Sandra has received the 2018 Woman in Architecture Award from the Architectural Review. She has been a jury member for the 17th Venice Biennale and Jury Chair of the Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize (2022). Both are visiting professors at Harvard GSD and Yale School of Architecture and were curators of the Peruvian Pavilion at the 15th Venice Biennale, 2016, which obtained the Jury’s Special Mention. 

The Berlage Keynotes, organized as part of the Faculty of Architecture’s Public Program, is an ongoing lecture series featuring internationally prominent architects, designers, and thinkers who are at the forefront of design discourse and innovation. A selection of speakers working from different disciplinary perspectives and in different geographic, cultural, and political contexts speak on how their work engages with contemporary issues and debates. For the fall 2024 semester, speakers will include amid.cero9, ARB Architects, Barclay & Crousse, Robert Hutchison Architecture, Sam Chermayeff Office, Space Encounters, and SUMMACUMFEMMER.
