This lecture is part of our series of open lectures, which will see a diverse range of architects talk about their work, influences, and motivations. It is an opportunity for everyone interested in architecture to hear from architects involved with projects (built and unbuilt) of many different types and scales, and executed over the last 5-50 years.
