Into the Droame

Pascal Bronner: Guest lecture

Published on 21 Mar 2024

Pascal Bronner is a senior lecturer in architecture at the University of Greenwich. He was born in Malaysia, grew up in Germany and moved to the UK in 2000 where he still lives and works today. In London, he studied fine art at Central St. Martins, and architecture at the Bartlett, UCL. Pascal was awarded the RIBA Bronze Medal Commendation and the Serjeant Award for Excellence in Drawing at Part 2. He was also a recipient of the Fitzroy Robinson Drawing Prize and the Banister Fletcher Medal. He is currently undertaking a PHD at RMIT, where he examines and dissects his drawing and design practise. Alongside Thomas Hillier, Pascal founded FleaFollyArchitects in 2013 – They see themselves as spatial storytellers who use narrative and fiction to discover and explore unique architectural propositions encompassing all scales.

In this lecture, Pascal will take us on a journey through his personal work and the collaborative projects with FleaFollyArchitects, offering a fascinating insight into his research on the concept of ‘Droame’. For Pascal, the work on the drawing board is like a spatial pill, a seemingly two-dimensional artefact that has the potential to bring forth a 3rd, 4th, and 5th dimension, giving form to an illusory universe. The term ‘Droame’ is his attempt to describe this universe, a composite realm that connects the physicality of drawing to the different forms of cerebral musings that the process uncovers.
