Perspectives on Architecture: Global Responses
The lecture was given by Christopher Nash, Managing Director of Grimshaw, who spoke on the theme of ‘Perspectives on Architecture: Global Responses’.
Christopher Nash is currently Director in charge of Stansted Airport Generation 2 Masterplan, Bournemouth Winter Gardens, and perhaps most interestingly the Cutty Sark conservation project. He has also been involved in the design and construction of many of the buildings on the University of Surrey campus. In addition to his active involvement in projects, he is also responsible for the strategic planning of Grimshaw business worldwide.
The lecture marked the start of Architecture Week 2007 which runs from 15 to 23 June and which features an exhibition, lunchtime talks and guided walks, including one at the University on Sunday, June 17 at 3 p.m. which will examine the varied architecture and sculpture on campus.
