Lecture series
Join us for a special series of lectures exploring historical and contemporary perspectives in architecture, heritage, design and development. The series presents eight conversations in which eminent historians and writers will be paired with leading contemporary architects, social commentators and property specialists to examine different types of housing, from 19th-century villas and Californian bungalows, to McMansions and emergency shelters.
Includes refreshments
