The lecture Love me one time, two times … X times ! is not a conventional showcase of selected projects from their daily practice, but rather aims to provide a broader insight into the network of actors in which b+operates, how they understand the contemporary way of an architectural practice and scope of work of an architect, and how they approach their projects. In short: who b+ is and how they work, what their values are, and what the understanding of their duties and responsibilities as architects is.
