When Chris was asked to work with Andrew Weston for group projects at Leicester School of Architecture (for no other reason than they were next to each other alphabetically) they both realised that their skills dovetailed perfectly. They particularly bonded on environmental issues during the energy crisis in the mid 1970s which alerted the world to the need to reduce the reliance on fossil fuels. Their shared ambition made for a perfect business partnership and Weston Williamson was formed in 1985 after gaining valuable experience in the offices of Richard Rogers and Michael Hopkins.
Chris Williamson will be discussing the role of large scale infrastructure projects including HS2 and Crossrail as part of The Bartlett's Constructing Realities lecture series on Thursday November 15.
An informal lecture format, speakers explore the current trends in making, process and design of the built environment, looking at how new technologies are shaping future spaces. The series is discursive and offers opportunities for students, academics, industry professionals and the public to learn from, and question the people who are constructing the realities we inhabit.
The event is free and open to all, no booking is required. Complimentary light refreshments will be available before and afterwards.
November 15, 18.30-20.30, UCL at Here East, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park E15 2GW
