Real Architecture Autumn 2008
November – December 2008From the tallest building in the world to a multiple award winning new school; from a vision for a future desert settlement to a Norwegian cultural centre, Real Architecture returns following Spring's sell out run. Maintaining its commitment to hosting presentations on the most
important buildings being created today, within venues of architectural significance, the talks will be held in Sir Denys Lasdun’s Grade 1 listed modernist masterpiece, the Royal College of Physicians, alongside a special presentation on the Stirling Prize nominated Westminster Academy, that will take place within the Academy itself. Numbers are limited.
Video recordings of complete presentations are available to watch online at the events' specific web-page.
