Conference: Power In Space - Historic architecture transfigured for contemporary culture

9th September 2011

FCBS & Buro Happold are organising an event which brings international designers and directors together to create lively and uplifting debate. Innovation in re-using existing buildings for contemporary culture and performance will provide the focus. It will be held at Bath Abbey, who are kindly donating the use of this glorious medieval church. As well as compelling talks by top class professionals they will also be engaging with the Abbey’s physical presence, using materials, light and sound to create a sensory and intellectual experience to remember.

Speakers include: Eric Parry, Steve Tompkins, Liza Fior, project directors from the Tate, and the RSC; international guests working in Versailles and Venice, Peter Clegg from FCBS and Mike Cook from Buro Happold talking about the transformative power of space.

Event takes place on Thursday 20 October 2011.

The early bird rate for tickets runs until September 20th.
