About the event

Brian Stater: In the footsteps of Wren: the architecture of Norman Foster and Richard Rogers
Whenever a radical building appears, someone, somewhere, insists: “Christopher Wren would be turning in his grave.” A barb surely felt by Richard Rogers and Norman Foster, who embraced modernism, building in steel, glass and concrete, while Wren’s classical style used timber and stone. But when Rogers was awarded the Royal Gold Medal for Architecture, his citation said he was “the rightful heir to the traditions of Wren”. And the same might very well be said of Foster. This lecture explores the parallels in their careers.
Brian Stater was a Senior Teaching Fellow at UCL with a particular focus on the appreciation of architecture.
