Friday 28 May 2027 – In the footsteps of Wren: the architecture of Norman Foster and Richard Rogers

Lecturer: Brian Stater

Richard Rogers and Norman Foster are the most celebrated British architects of the last 100 years, building around the world in steel, glass and concrete.
When Rogers was awarded the Royal Gold Medal for Architecture the citation observed that he was “the rightful heir to the traditions of Wren”.
And the same could certainly be said of Foster.
The allusion to Wren is startling, but this lecture demonstrates that Wren might very well have recognised Foster and Rogers as kindred spirits.
