Thursday 23rd October 7.00pm
We are delighted to announce that Julia Barfield of the Marks Barfield practice will be presenting our lecture this year on the subject of 'Making the Architecture of Place'.
To book see form at foot of post.
Although Marks Barfield are best known for the design of the London Eye the practice have been involved in a large number of other projects including The Lightbox Woking, the Cambridge Mosque, Kew Treetop Walkway, and the Brighton i360. The practice has also worked on a wide range of Commercial and Dwelling Projects with a focus on sustainability.
"For us design is a powerful tool for good, both social and environmental. At its best it improves the quality of people’s lives and lifts their spirit, while drawing on a minimum of the earth’s limited resources."
David Marks and Julia Barfield
