This event, designed for professionals shaping the urban environment, delves into the dynamic relationship between art and architecture. It will explore how these two fields inform, challenge, and enhance one another in the public realm.
​
Industry leaders from architecture, curation, and public art commissioning will discuss the evolving practices that integrate artinto urban spaces. Key case studies, including projects like Salisbury Square, 50 Fenchurch St, and Sculpture in the City, will serve as focal points for examining best practices in design, implementation, and curation.

Chair: John Tusa
Speakers:
Stella Ioannou, Artistic Director, Sculpture in the City and Founding Director, Lacuna
Eric Parry, Principal, Eric Parry Architects
Mary Findlay, Curator, Deutsche Bank

What people are saying
​
The event was fantastic, I really enjoyed attending and am already looking forward to the next one. The panel was very knowledgeable and engaging. The presentation covered pertinent parts of the Retrofit debate and it was interesting to hear from such different perspectives. Overall, the event was well-organised, and the venue was beautiful.

I felt it was a thoroughly enjoyable and well-planned event, focusing on a current hot topic within the industry. It was an experienced, well-balanced panel, who conveyed a great deal of useful information in their presentations, followed by thought-provoking discussions and questions. It was also held at a very unique and interesting location. I look forward to the next one!

I thought the event was really good and very interesting. It was also great to get insight from experts in their field from a variety of disciplines even down to the demo contract. I think others may have mentioned this but there is definitely a ‘part two’ opportunity to this and it would also be good to get insight from the office market, architectural team and how the reuse mindset needs to change around CAT A, etc.
Joe Wilson, Architect
