In Conversation: Richard Rogers, Graham Stirk and Ivan Harbour
Award-winning architects spoke about their practice and approach to designing buildings in cities.
What to expect
This talk shed light on the some of the most challenging sites, the context in which buildings stand as well as examine how a building can be a catalyst for regeneration within a city.
The partners drew from their experiences of working on award-winning projects including the Centre Pompidou, The Leadenhall Building, The British Museum, International Towers Sydney, and the National Assembly for Wales.
Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners celebrate their 10th anniversary of the practice’s name change which took place in 2007 in recognition of Graham Stirk and Ivan Harbour’s contributions. They have been working together for over four decades.
