Brighton launches series of lectures with leading contemporary architects and thinkers

The School of Architecture and Design is launching two online public lecture series exploring an intriguing range of key issues in contemporary architecture.

26 January 2021

Architecture professor Charles Holland has curated an online evening lecture series with leading architects, featuring Spanish practice Flores + Prats, Belgian architects Jan de Vylder and Inge Vinck, and London-based Sarah Wigglesworth among others.

The evening lecture series will begin on 28 January, under the auspices of the Brighton Interior Architecture and Architecture Society (BIAAS). Talks will be online via Zoom and run at 6pm on Thursdays until 25 March starting with London-based architectural practice OMMX.

Running alongside the evening talks will be a series of Lunchtime Research Talks curated by Dr. Katy Beinart.

Starting on Monday 25 January – and running 1pm weekly – the lunchtime talks - organised by the School of Architecture and Design's Early Career Researcher Group and supported by the university's Centre for Spatial, Environmental and Cultural Politics - will cover a range of cutting-edge international topics across the fields of architecture, urbanism, interiors and design. Talk titles include: City of Ladies: Remodelling Christine de Pizan’s proto-feminist illuminated manuscript; Black Markets: Transnational architectures of Care; and Empire and Materiality in Interwar Britain.

Among the highlights of the public lectures, speculative architect Liam Young (Tomorrows Thoughts Today, Unknown Fields and SCI Arc) will reflect on the spaces between design, fiction and futures on 18 February. Described by the BBC as ‘the man designing our futures’, his visionary films provide extraordinary images of tomorrow and urgent examinations of the environmental questions facing us today.

On 25 February, Ricardo Flores and Eva Prats (Flores + Prats) will talk about their work in social housing, rehabilitation, urban public spaces and neighbourhood participation. And on 11 March, Gurmeet Sian (Office Sian Architecture + Design) will explore concepts of 'home' and what ‘community architecture’ actually means.

Full details of other speakers, and how to join, are available School of Architecture and Design blog.
