Big Lecture: Peter Barber - From The Archive

WATCH OR LISTEN AGAIN ON YOUTUBE

Architect Peter Barber joined us in 2019 to reflect on his work and practice in relation to the provocation for that year’s Architecture Fringe, In Real Life, [IRL].

Filmed at The Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh, Scotland on Friday 21st June 2019 in front of a sold-out audience, Peter is one of the UK’s leading contemporary urbanists with an award-winning practice based in King’s Cross, central London.

Established in 1989 Peter Barber Architects is renowned for high-quality, high-density housing with numerous ground-breaking mixed-use and residential schemes, planning studies and individual buildings across the UK. The practice’s varied portfolio of work is underpinned by a consistent commitment to radical solutions and excellence in design. Peter’s central approach to work is that architecture can create the potential for social action and activity; that we are shaped by the space that surrounds us and in turn that space is conditioned by society and wider culture.
